Company History
Glasstream Powerboats™, a trademarked company, has a unique, state-of-the art hull design
that is has earned a copyright. The Glasstream product line was brought on by demand of
the experienced boater who wants it all; performance, style, uncompromising quality and
value. The hull originates from the 1988 race boat “Turn of the Century” which went on to
take the APBA Divisional Championship in Key West the same year. Developed as a race
prototype, the Glasstream hull was one of the first of its kind to be built. This hull design
was a radical, new technology at the time but has now become the trend for performance v-
bottom boats. The step radically improves handling and performance, reducing the amount
of drag and initiating more lift. The end result: A very fast, dry and soft ride.
Glasstream presently manufactures eighteen models of fishing and pleasure boats, ranging
from 17’ to 36’. Each model is a new design and is a product of over two decades of
research and development.
Our Facility
The Glasstream production facilities are located in Dothan, Alabama and Panama City,
Florida.
Dedication to Quality
Glasstream quality construction is evident upon first glance and even more so after a hard
look; A 100% wood free construction. Everything from the upholstery to the rub rail is
made from non-deteriorating materials. The deck and hull are completely glassed together.
The stringer system is a molded, foam filled, fiberglass grid system. All the wiring is tinned
with heat shrink terminals and breakers that are allocated for each accessory.
The Glasstream state of the art design and building processes results in a stronger, better
handling, lighter, faster and more fuel-efficient design. Forged bonded hull integration
process results in a greatly strengthened and more rigid assembly, creating a near perfect
strength to weight ratio. The exceptionally balanced craft absorbs impact and maintains
structural integrity.
All boats carry a 10-year hull warranty.
