STERN DRIVE GT/GTS 185 EXTENDS THE PLEASURE OF FAMILY BOATING
Glastron’s GT 185 and GTS 185 put families of all kinds right on the water through its stern driven performance and family friendly qualities.
Classic Glastron boating comes in the form of the GT 185. This attentive 18′ bow rider includes all the comforts smaller families need for fun-filled afternoons on the water. Boaters will enjoy deluxe features including bucket seating with flip-up bolsters, ample storage space, and an easy towing custom-matched trailer. The potential of the versatile, convertible sun deck gives boater’s multiple positions for lounging on the stern when at rest. Underway, the standard, unique windshield with side glass wings and optional steering wheel upgrade deliver a roadster-esque feel that will never disappoint. Within the GT 185, families will seat comfortably in all locations of the boat. The bow provides spacious seating with ample storage located underneath and a large full-width bench seat rests behind the captain’s seat for when there are multiple passengers aboard or when it’s time to kick back and relax. A standard stainless steel ski tow is located aft allowing for pulling tubes and skis. For even more fun, an optional wakeboard tower is available and one can get it accompanied with a pair of stylish board racks. Notably available is the extended swim platform and swim platform mats. All made possible due to the engine living partially under the boat rather than directly behind it alike a typical outboard. With three stylish color options available, the GT 185 will have you in love at first sight. Exuding the striking GTS graphics and custom interior, the GTS 185 is nothing short of stunning. Deluxe features such as bucket seating, a custom trailer, and storage potential on the GTS 185 are comparable to its sister-boat—the GT 185. You’ll experience reliable performance from its stern driven power, along with crisp execution, courtesy the SSV® hull, when on plane. As mentioned on the GT 185, the sun deck is convertible into chaise lounge is ready when it’s time for some R & R. For optimal wake-sport performance, the optional wakeboard tower is a must and the optional board racks will keep your deck clear of clutter. Differing from the GT 185, the GTS 185 comes standard with a swim mat delivering a luxurious look; an extended swim platform, extended mat, and cockpit Reed flooring are available for purchase as well.
Entertainment on both models is provided by the standard stereo system which includes two speakers, AM/FM radio, Bluetooth® connectivity, and MP3 plug-in.
