1996 Glastron Gs160

Slide into the cockpit of this GS160 and you’ll notice how everything is laid out to keep the day simple and fun. The low-profile windshield gives you that open, airy feel while still knocking down the breeze when you’re cruising. Storage nooks are tucked under the seats and along the sides, so the inevitable pile of towels, lines, and toys actually has a home. The Johnson 90 pairs well with the boat’s lightweight hull, so you’ll jump on plane quickly even with a full crew. At the end of the day, the compact size makes it easy to rinse down, cover, and tuck away without needing a big tow vehicle or a massive slip.

In this region, conditions can change from flat calm mornings to breezier afternoons, and the GS160’s hull handles that shift confidently without feeling intimidating. Its size is ideal for exploring smaller coves and inlets where larger boats can’t comfortably venture, yet it still has enough punch to tow a tube or board when the water lays down. The included trailer makes it simple to launch at different ramps and discover new stretches of shoreline. For boaters who want to maximize weekends without juggling a big maintenance or storage commitment, this nimble bowrider fits the local lifestyle extremely well.
