The boat that jumped the sheriff's car — sixty years of fiberglass fun.
Glastron started in 1956 in Austin, Texas with a bet that fiberglass would democratize boating — and won. Their hulls became the affordable American runabout, and their marketing became legend: a Glastron GT-150 made the 360-degree jump in the James Bond film Live and Let Die, and the company spent the 70s launching boats over things for the cameras.
The modern line keeps the mission: approachable, family-first bowriders and deck boats that put lake days within reach. Not yacht-club boats — birthday-party, sandbar, first-set-of-keys boats. Which is exactly the point.
Boat people measure summer in weekends and know every launch ramp's quirks. Utah's reservoir scene is tight-knit and family-heavy — the Glastron crowd is the one grilling at the beach while the kids learn to tube.
