2018 Glastron GT180

Slide behind the wheel of this GT180 and you’ll feel how light and responsive she is the moment you nudge the throttle. The 18-foot hull gives you a confident, planted ride, but she’s still compact enough to sneak into smaller coves and tight marina slips without stress. The helm layout is clean and intuitive, with clear sightlines over the bow so you can keep an eye on swimmers and tow sports. Wide, padded gunwales and deep seating mean passengers feel secure underway, and the non-skid deck makes moving around at anchor simple. It’s the kind of boat that makes quick evening cruises just as inviting as full days on the water.

For local waterways where conditions can change from glassy to choppy in a single outing, the GT180’s versatile runabout hull shines. It planes quickly with modest power, which keeps fuel consumption in check on longer day trips between sandbars and waterfront hangouts. Its size is ideal for shallower creeks and smaller ramps that larger boats struggle with, yet it still has the beam and seating to bring family or friends along comfortably. Easy trailering and launch mean you’re not tied to one marina; you can explore lakes, rivers, and coastal inlets with equal confidence in this nimble, low-stress package.
