I am looking at buying a 2005 Glastron 195 SX 4.3 L Volvo. It has 300 hours, $9500. The boat looks like it just rolled off the show room floor. It is a one owner boat, owned buy a retired Navy guy. He has done all his own maintenance etc. Does this appear to be a good price? Is there any specific questions I should be asking him? Is this high hours? I will be taking a lake test this week. Thanks for any help. Jason

Price is good... especially for beginning of season. Hours is no big deal. Ask when last bellows job was and when impeller was done. How old is the battery, trailer tires, etc. You will love the ride of the glastron. It was night and day from our old stingray. Are you selling yours?

No, unfortunately I lost it in the Texas fires last fall. I live in Bastrop,Texas and we lost about 2000 homes, mine included. Just starting over. I loved my stingray, but I just came across this deal. I hope it rides as nice as it looks. I was a little worried about hours. Thanks for the input.
