Glastron GTD 180: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Glastron 180 GTD is an 18-foot deck boat designed to accommodate up to 10 passengers. It offers a versatile layout and a range of features aimed at providing both comfort and performance on the water. Powered by a 115 horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboard engine, this boat combines practical design elements with enjoyable handling characteristics.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

At the stern, the 180 GTD is equipped with dual swim platforms extending two feet from the transom, complemented by a three-step reboarding ladder on the starboard side. A removable ski tow pylon is centrally located, allowing for convenient towing activities while keeping the tow line elevated above the engine. The boat’s side entrance on the starboard offers a safe and accessible boarding point, featuring a non-skid step for added security. The wraparound seating arrangement inside the cockpit surrounds a pedestal table that can be repositioned forward to the bow area, enhancing social and dining flexibility. Upholstery includes two-tone bolsters with custom embroidery and contrasting bead welding, while ample storage is found beneath all seating, including a built-in cooler under the aft bench. Drink holders are strategically placed throughout the cap rails, totaling eight, and non-skid surfaces are incorporated on steps and the bow for safety.

Helm and Controls

The helm station is thoughtfully designed with a wrapped steering wheel mounted on a tilt base, providing ergonomic control. Toggle switches are arranged on a carbon fiber panel with an acrylic backing, while the instrument cluster features recessed gauge cans that house speedometer, tachometer, fuel, and trim indicators, along with selectable information such as fuel flow. A small dash panel prevents items from falling during acceleration, and connectivity options include USB and MP3 inputs with additional USB ports nearby. The helm console is topped by a curved, tinted Lexan windshield with brush-finished mounting brackets that complement the gauge design. Audio entertainment is managed through a kick-around board stereo with Bluetooth and an intuitive control head. The single-lever throttle incorporates a built-in trim toggle, and the helm seat offers multi-tone upholstery with double stitching, a flip-up bolster, swivel, and slide functions for comfort and versatility.

Interior Layout and Storage

The cockpit seating extends along the port side with continued storage compartments, including space for a cooler beneath the seats. The wraparound bolster design enhances comfort throughout the seating areas. The pedestal table base is conveniently stored in an index storage compartment forward of the helm, which measures over five feet in length and provides ample depth and width for gear. The bow area features non-skid surfaces and a dedicated bracket for the pedestal table, allowing for flexible use of the space. The starboard side seating allows passengers to ride in a chaise-style position with feet elevated comfortably on the front of the helm console. While there is no dedicated anchor locker, storage for an anchor is available under the seats.

Power and Performance

The Glastron 180 GTD has an overall length of 18 feet and a beam of 8 feet, with an empty weight of 2,475 pounds. During testing with three people aboard and full fuel, the estimated weight was approximately 3,272 pounds. Powered by a 115 horsepower Yamaha outboard, the boat achieved a top speed of 41.5 miles per hour at 6,200 RPM. Its most efficient cruising speed was 23.1 miles per hour at 4,000 RPM, where it consumed 4.3 gallons per hour, resulting in a fuel economy of 5.4 miles per gallon and a range of 155 miles. Acceleration was brisk, reaching planing speed in 3.4 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 7 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 10.8 seconds. The boat maintains a slightly bow-high running attitude, which is appropriate for stability and handling. Maneuverability was smooth, including tight 360-degree turns, and the boat handled choppy conditions well by quickly settling after encountering wakes.

Additional Features and Trailer

The 180 GTD is delivered with a color-matched trailer featuring disc brakes and a swing-away tongue, with a total height of 4 feet 4 inches for ease of transport and storage. Buyers can choose from three hull colors and three interior color schemes, allowing for some customization. Overall, the boat presents a blend of functional design, comfort, and enjoyable driving dynamics.

Conclusion

The Glastron 180 GTD is a well-rounded 18-foot deck boat that excels in accommodating a large number of passengers while maintaining solid performance and handling characteristics. Its thoughtful layout, quality finishes, and practical features make it a versatile choice for recreational boating activities. The boat’s efficient powertrain and smooth ride contribute to an engaging and comfortable experience on the water.
