Glastron 175 SX
The Glastron 175 SX is a 17-foot boat, with model years from 2000 to 2004 in the listings we track. Across 19 listings we have observed (model years 2000–2004), the median asking price is $7,500, with most boats asking $4,500 to $8,000. The engine we see most often on this model is Volvo Penta sterndrive (gas, DPS/Duoprop) and Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300).
BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 19 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
19 priced listings across 9 states. Enough for a range, not enough to be precise about any single year.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (58 raw listings collapsed to 19 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 2000–2004, 9 states, 12 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
10 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.
Glastron 175 SX prices by model year
| Model year | Listings | Typical asking range | Median asking | Relative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2004 | 4 | $5,500 – $11,000 | $6,000 | |
| 2003 | 2 | 2 priced — too few to publish a range | — | |
| 2001 | 3 | $3,000 – $3,500 | $3,500 | |
| 2000 | 4 | $7,500 – $8,000 | $8,000 |
Asking prices from active listings we observed, not sold prices. No public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices; anyone showing you "sold" data for this market is estimating it. Years with fewer than 3 priced listings show the count only.
Method: Median and quartiles per model year, computed only where at least 3 priced listings exist for that year.

Recalls affecting Glastron
10 federal recall campaigns on file. Recalls are issued against hull-identification ranges, so a campaign listed here may or may not cover the specific boat you are looking at — check the HIN. Remedies are free from the builder, but only if the work was actually performed, and there is no central database that proves it was.

Engines we actually see on the 175 SX
- Volvo Penta sterndrive (gas, DPS/Duoprop)
Smooth, strong drives — the Duoprop in particular handles and holds beautifully. The catch is parts cost: Volvo Penta components run materially higher than MerCruiser equivalents, so service and repair budgets are larger.
Service reality: Same wear items as MerCruiser (bellows, gimbal, impeller) but pricier parts. Verify drive-oil condition (milky = water intrusion = seal failure).

- Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300)
The benchmark for outboard reliability and resale. F150 and F300 routinely run 2,000+ hours with routine service. Top-tier buyer trust — a Yamaha-powered hull sells faster than the same boat on any other brand.
Service reality: 100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion.

What to inspect on a used Glastron 175 SX
- Volvo Penta sterndrive (gas, DPS/Duoprop): Same wear items as MerCruiser (bellows, gimbal, impeller) but pricier parts. Verify drive-oil condition (milky = water intrusion = seal failure). Seen on 3 of the 19 175 SX listings we track.
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 100 hours a year is heavy use for a Volvo Penta sterndrive (gas, DPS/Duoprop). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Volvo Penta sterndrive (gas, DPS/Duoprop).
- Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300): 100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion. Seen on 1 of the 19 175 SX listings we track.
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 150 hours a year is heavy use for a Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300).
- On the older hulls, core moisture is the deal-breaker: sound the transom and the deck with a plastic mallet, and treat any soft or dull-sounding area as a survey-stopper rather than a bargaining chip. We observe listings back to 2000, so boats over 26 years old are actively traded in this model.
This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 175 SX listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a 175 SX costs to own
$1,500 – $4,000 per year
- 17 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Freshwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (WI)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
