THE STORY OF THE GT 180 Written by: The Engineering & Design team 1976 Glastron/Carlson CVX-20 1973 Glastron GT 160 1971 Glastron/Carlson CV-21 HISTORY Glastron has a rich legacy of design, from the runabouts of the 60’s and 70’s to the Carlson Series, these boats were known for their style, performance, and attention to detail. Just as Randy Vance, editor of Boating Life stated “Glastrons were the Ferrari of boats. If you were driving one of these you had everyone’s attention.” To honor Glastron’s history a new generation of models have been designed. These new Glastrons are not just a boat, it’s a tribute to 55 years of exceptional boat building. GTR 160 & GT 160 GT 160 The new GT 160 is a provocative, modern design that uses cues from the original GT of the late 1960’s. This 16-footer is designed to command the waterways with eye-popping graphics and design lines that appeal to a broad audience of boaters. The influence of past Glastron models is apparent in every detail from the exterior lines to the windshield and retro pull switches. GT 205 GT 200 GT 200 GT 200 & GT 205 Following the success of the GT 160, the GT 200 and 205 were designed with the same philosophy; to build a boat in a modern way that still includes a part of Glastron’s history. The GT 200 and 205 are much larger boats, designed for the whole family to use. GT 180 GT 180 Next to follow the GT 160, GT 200, and GT 205, is the GT 180, which creates a link in the line up between the newest boats. Similar style elements are present including the signature hull side spear, sweeping style lines and roadster inspired windshield. COLOR PLACEMENT The color placement on the spear in the hull makes a large visual impact. You instantly notice this is a Glastron. Color on the deck is available as an option for even more excitement. Hull Design The GT 180 is designed with Glastron’s SSV hull, Super Stable Vee Hull, which provides great acceleration and handling. LAYOUT A wide cockpit allows for three to four people to sit comfortably across the rear bench seat. The cockpit depth has been improved from past models for a comfortable and secure ride in any location, from the bow lounges to the aft seat. UPHOLSTERY DESIGN The upholstery is an improvement from the old generation models with a 1/2 inch additional foam in the seating. The spear shape has been incorporated into many areas through out the boat including the hull side storage compartments, coming pads, and designators. The racing stripe style that was developed on the GT 160 has been carried through out the rest of the line. These stripes draw your eye from the bow to the stern, and tie the whole interior together. TRANSOM Large usable space mixed with good aesthetics makes this swim platform and transom a great design. A grey mat with a Glastron logo is available as an option to provide a soft touch, comfortable surface. A removable ski pylon is also offered for any type of water sports, towing, skiing, wake boarding, etc. And the engine well is designed to receive a 150 HP engine. STRINGERS A full fiberglass stringer has been designed for the GT 180 for excellent structure and rigidity. A key component of this design is the windshield support. Pillars have been molded in to sit under the deck where the deck and the windshield meet, meaning the hull and windshield will not flex when in rough seas. HARDWARE Three cleats, one in the center of the bow, and two on the stern are standard on the GT 180. Pull-up cleats including two additional midship cleats are available as an option. RACING SEATS An improved design from the GT 160, this seat has the same look, with additional shape and function. More foam has been added on the sides for additional lateral support, a thicker headrest makes the seat appear robust, and the backrest height is taller for more comfort. The bolster is an option on the GT 180. WINDSHIELD This windshield, another exclusive design to Glastron, is inspired by roadster type cars for an automotive look. The front glass was taken directly from the GT 200 and GT 205, which means the GT 180 has a large windshield and full protection. It features curved glass, a center walk-thru and optional side wings. BOW The bow has space for two to lounge side by side, and a center seat for facing aft. Large amounts of color in the upholstery creates excitement and contrast from the white color of the deck. A new feature to Glastron, optional fill in cushions, are available and a recess has been molded into the deck to support the fill in boards. DASH The dash is taken directly from the GT 200 and GT 205, and has full instrumentation. Inspired by retro styling and American muscle cars the dash has manual pull switches that are reminiscent of an older generation, large aluminum over sized tubes that give a technical look, and oversized center gauges with two smaller ones. SHIFTER The GT 180 has great ergonomics from the steering wheel to the shifter. A rigid support has been added in the deck that keeps the shifter and coaming pad in place. Vinyl wrapped hull side panels give a unique style to Glastron for a better finish and additional rigidity. GAUGES Retro styling and automotive inspiration is evident down to the smallest details. These gauges are exclusively designed for Glastron and have many small details such as a raised mask, giving them a thee dimensional look, chrome accents, and technical font. GLOVE BOX The port glove box has been upgraded with an additional stainless steel logo trim piece on the exterior and retention cables on the interior when opened. Inside a Sony stereo system, 12 volt adaptor, and skid resistant mat comes standard. STORAGE Storage under every seat and a large ski locker provides space to keep plenty of gear. There are two type of storage compartments on the GT 180. Molded in, as seen on either side of the rear bench seat or covered with trunk liner, like the bow. The ski locker is a complete fiberglass construction and has plenty of length to store large items, 75 inches to be exact. Vents designed into the lid allow for air circulation. DRAINING Two types of gutter systems have been designed into the fiberglass. Top side gutters around the perimeter of the bow and cockpit keeps the water out of the interior. If water does come aboard, gutters around the upholstery will drain water into the bilge, keeping it away from the seating areas. ACCESS The backrest of the rear bench seat hinges up for plenty of access to mechanical components. Three access points have been incorporated into the backrest. TRAILER The Glastron trailer has been redesigned for a better appearance. Additional aluminum plates, chrome wheels, and color matched paint are noticeable improvements on the GT 180. FUEL SYSTEM The GT 180 has been designed to receive the new EPA compliant fuel system. This system prevents overflow with an automatic shut off, and has additional components including better vapor barriers, heat shields, and filters. LAYOUT Rear bench seat Two racing seats Bow lounges Large cockpit space Deep cockpit Large swim platforms GTS 200 Concept Rendering GTS 200 GTS A brand new design, started on the GT 200 and GT 205, the GTS model will be extended to the GT 180. Eye catching graphics and many upgrades makes this boat stand out from the rest. A two tone gel scheme offered in black or red with dynamic stripes and an overlapping signature Glastron spear gives a unique look to the exterior style. The optional tower is an exclusive design to Glastron and enhances the look of this boat with it’s sporty lines and black color. The custom interior of the GTS comes standard with two-toned red and black vinyl, an upgraded steering wheel, and optional embroidered carpet. GT 200 SF Concept Rendering GT 200 SF SKI & FISH The ski & fish is full of features you would expect to see on a fishing boat as well as a few new ones. This model is designed to improve the functionality and style of a typical fishing boat though new features and graphics. Inspired by the professionals such as our sister company Ranger, the unique hull side graphics are eye catching and represent the activities the boat will be used for. The two styles of fishing seats offered are designed to be multipurpose and easily storable. A casting “bike” style seat and a folding bucket seat can be interchanged between the bow and stern casting platform or stored away completely. GTL 200 Concept Rendering GTS 160 GTS 160 GTL - LEGACY PACAKGE To bring a touch of luxury to Glastron, the GTL package which started on the GT 160, will be extened to the GT line. This package includes many upgrades such as a solid color interior in a rich saddle hue with contrasting white sitiching and detailed diamond stitched vinyl. An upgraded steering wheel with spinner cap comes standard as well a unique patterned “chain weave” hull side material. The custom gel scheme with a solid hull bottom and color on the deck makes this boat truly unique.
