DEDICATION TO QUALITY
We take pride in creating high-quality boats that meet the needs of boaters all across the
country. Part of what makes our boats so outstanding is the superior fuel-economy. Our team
of designers and boatbuilders put meticulous time and effort into creating a stepped hull that
runs smoothly across the water, reducing drag and lifting the overall fuel-efficiency.
Just how efficient are our boats, and what does that mean to you, the boat owner? It means
less money going into the tank, and more time spent cruising along in your favorite craft. If
you are an angler, it also means you can go further in your boat, reaching distant fishing holes
that many other boats may not be able to reach and at a much quicker speed.

** Please note that due to the various components installed in the fuel system to
comply with the EPA (Evaporative Emissions Regulations), the actual usable
volume of each tank may be less than the values listed above.
All fuel systems have been factory inspected and pressure tested in accordance with
regulations in effect at the time of manufacture. This inspection ensures that the
system is air tight, leak proof and safe. It is the responsibility of the end user to
maintain it in that condition. Make frequent inspections of the entire system to
ensure it remains functional for years to come.

LIVEWELL SYSTEM
Glasstream Powerboats can be built with a wide array of livewell quantities and
arrangements. The plumbing of these wells is often specific only to the particular
boat or configuration; however, some similarities exist.
Most wells utilize an intake, a drain, and an overflow. The intake is usually located on
the bottom of the hull. This intake allows the system to receive clean water and it is
connected to a valve and then a livewell pump. The drain and the overflow are plumbed
out the tr
In most cases, when using the livewell, the drain must be closed to allow water to
accumulate in the well. The intake valve can be decreased to slow water from
coming into the well with the adjustment of the livewell spray head. This will allow
for the proper flow of water ratio to overflow, keeping an aerated well to improve
bait life.

GELCOAT MAINTENANCE
UPHOLSTERY CARE
The vinyl upholstery used on the seats, cushions, bolsters, and for the headliner in
some cabins, should be cleaned periodically with mild soap and water.
Any stain, spill or soiling should be cleaned up promptly to prevent the possibility
of permanent staining. When cleaning, always rub gently. Avoid using products
containing ammonia, powdered abrasive cleaners, steel wool, ink, strong solvents,
acetone and lacquer solvents or other harsh chemicals as they can cause permanent
damage or shorten the life of vinyl. Never use steam heat, heat guns or hair dryers
on vinyl.
Stronger cleaners, detergents and solvents may be effective in stain removal, but
can cause either immediate damage or slow deterioration. Lotions, sunscreen,
waxes and polishes, etc., contain oils and dyes that can cause stiffening and
staining of vinyl’s.
REBOARDING INSTRUCTIONS
As per ABYC H-!-41.10.1.1, each boat model must have a written proc
describing the means of unassisted reboarding. So, while most Glasstream
Powerboats’ are equipped with boarding ladders, in the event they are not, the
following explains
