Glastron 195 SX
The Glastron 195 SX is a 19-foot boat, with model years from 1996 to 2006 in the listings we track. Across 23 listings we have observed (model years 1996–2006), the median asking price is $8,500, with most boats asking $5,000 to $10,000. The engine we see most often on this model is Volvo Penta sterndrive (gas, DPS/Duoprop) and Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400).
BoatVerdict market snapshot
What "time listed" is and is not. We count from the day the seller posted the ad to the sweep that found it gone. An ad can end because the boat sold, because the seller gave up, or because the classifieds site expired the post on its own schedule. So read 32 days as how long a 195 SX sits for sale, not as a time-to-sale. Nobody in this market can give you a real one: US used-boat sales are not publicly recorded. Ads that were already gone the first time we could see a whole regional board are left out of this figure, because we know they left but not when.
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 23 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
22 priced listings across 14 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 (44 raw listings collapsed to 23 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 1996–2006, 14 states, 16 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- BoatVerdict listing data
Between the 2000 ($5,000 median) and the 2006 ($9,500 median) asking prices fall about 10% a year. The steepest part of that curve is behind any boat more than five years old, which is where the value sits.
- 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.

The 12 most recently seen of 12 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.
Glastron recalls and accident record
Of 1,105Glastron boats in USCG accident records: fire or explosion 3%, flooding or swamping 9%, capsizing 4%, total loss 7%, at least one death 7%. The rate counts accidents in Texas and New York waters from 2014 to 2023 (28) against 7,529 Glastron boats registered in those two states, the only states that publish boat-level registrations. Accident records reflect how and how much boats are used, not only how they are built. Only accidents above the USCG reporting threshold are recorded. Personal watercraft are left out.
These numbers are for the builder, not this model. Check the specific hull with a HIN lookup for recalls and reported accidents.

Engines we actually see on the 195 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).

- Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400)
Modern Mercury V8/V10 FourStroke and supercharged Verado are strong, smooth, and well-supported, a clear step up from the OptiMax era. Slightly behind Yamaha on resale trust but closing fast, and often better integrated (joystick, digital throttle).
Service reality: 100-hour service; supercharged Verado adds the supercharger oil interval. Check for corroded battery cables and the SmartCraft harness on saltwater boats.

What to inspect on a used Glastron 195 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 23 195 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).
- Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400): 100-hour service; supercharged Verado adds the supercharger oil interval. Check for corroded battery cables and the SmartCraft harness on saltwater boats. Seen on 1 of the 23 195 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 Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Mercury Verado / V8 FourStroke (250–400).
- Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 68% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.
- 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 195 SX listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a 195 SX costs to own
$1,750 – $4,500 per year
- 19 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Saltwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (NY)
- 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.
