Overview
Glastron’s MX 175 is
the company’s entry
level boat. But from
a company that has
made its reputation
on family runabouts,
entry level has a
whole different
meaning. The
Glastron MX 175
benefits from
Glastron’s VEC
technology process
that results in
boats that have
extraordinary
structural rigidity.
It is also
well-equipped with
what people really
want in a boat,
which includes
attractive styling,
bucket seats and
more.
