Show me your Glastron so I'm not so lonely!

Is the bottle of green fluid coolant?

The boat looks great. How does Glastron expect its customers to clear debris from the pump? I know, or at least don't think it has a clean out port but does it have a special intake grate or something to help clear vegetation or other debris?

I've been looking real hard at a new GTS207 (that and the 203 vortex from chap). Probably not going to pull the trigger til next year though. Thanks for the pics, much better than the ones they provide! The closest Glastron dealer here doesn't have any, and simply invited me in to order a 2015 model.

Let me know if you want to see anything else, or have any questions. It is funny, the dealer experience that you received was just like what I got from Chaparral. Actually, the person wasn't even a dealer, just somebody paid to sit by the boat and hand out flyers.

Yes, the engine has closed cooling circuit.

Pretty much the same way as SeaDoo did, you crawl underneath and dig the stuff out. The grate seems pretty standard. My old SeaDoo had a cable actuated grate that was supposed to tilt and clear debris, but never really worked well and some experienced tines breaking off and going through the impeller.

Great looking boat! One thing I loved about the Glastron was the classic lines, and the way it felt riding through the chop.

We also looked very close at the Scarab (which was initially my top choice when we went to the boat show). That hull seemed more dense based on the "bang" test. In the end we went to the 20' instead of the 195, but sometimes I wondered if I should have gotten the Scarab. I am positive you will love it.
The 20' Scarab was a whole new ballpark, with the second engine and huge price jump. Maybe next time, although I am liking the one engine for now.

Thanks for the pics. I love looking at all of the different models of boats that guys on this site own. It gives me a better idea of things when we are all talking about our boats.

A little late discovering this thread, but just wanted to say thanks for the detailed and illustrated walkthrough. Really interesting for those of us in the market. Thanks for taking the time!

No problem. Let me know if you have anything you specifically want to see.

@Briwhy, I want that boat! Keep us posted on how it runs

 

[Briwhy]

If it runs as good as it did last year I'll be happy.

Noce boat Briwhy, where did you get your MC numbers at. I've found some nice ones on amazon but they don't come with the piece behind the year like yours. Was that piece separate or custom?

I bought my numbers off Amazon as well as the plate that holds the sticker. They both came from the same company. Just type in 3D lettering.
