Glastron GT205 CB
For the Love of Boating!!
Glastron Heritage
A legacy of flush deck boats…
1950’s
The first boat built by Glastron,
the FireFlite was a closed deck
boat and continued through
out the 50’s.
1960’s
In the1960’s Glastron
continued manufacturing
closed deck boats, and
expanded it’s line to include
additional models such as the
Skiflite, Surflite, & Jetflite.
In the late 60’s the partnership
of Glastron / Carlson began
with yet another closed deck,
the 16’ Challenger.
1970’s
Through out the 70’s
Glastron/Carlson developed
many new boats and
established an image of
performance and luxury for
the brand.
With a growing perception of
the brand, size also grew to
include more models in the 20
foot range.
1980’s
The 80’s marked a peak in
design with well known boats
such as the Scimitar &
Intimidator.
Glastron / Carlson continued
to develop new boats into the
early 90’s, but by the mid 90’s
the image of Glastron began
to portray more of a family
lifestyle.
