Hey. Looking to buy our first boat. We just looked at a 1999 Glastron 195 SX today. Had the volvo penta 190 hp 4.3L inboard/outboard.
Seemed to run great and have plenty of power at the lake today.
The seller is asking 9,200 but comes withOUT a bimini top or tower.
He is including a set of decent skis, 6-8 cheap-o-lifevests, a kneeboard, and two tow ropes.
I need some opinions...Those that own a similar boat, would you recomend it? If you pack is with 6-8 people, does the power lack when pulling a skier?
Should we look further into a 5.0L? Hows the fuel economy / gas mileage of this engine? Is it reliable? Need LOTS of opinions.
we want to make an offer, just want some more info to back it up.
also the boat was in great condition, no major visable defects, no tears in uphostery.... All stock. No hour meter. everything works.
main problem is that it lacks a bimini top, and were seeing about $300-450 to have one installed.
GLASTRON OWNERS SPEAK OUT!! need some opinions!
thanks everyone!
