Glasstream Inc has two USCG safety campaigns on record, both issued in 2019, affecting 50 boats total.

Both issues relate to regulatory compliance rather than structural defects, but unresolved campaigns can affect insurability and resale value.

What to check before you buy a used Glasstream
- Decode the HIN and cross reference it against campaign 17CG099S (Fiberglass Fish) or 17CG120S (180 CC) to confirm eligibility.
- Request proof that the builder or a dealer completed the remedy, typically a corrected label or compliant HIN plate.
- Inspect ventilation openings and capacity plates on any Fiberglass Fish model to verify current ABYC and CFR compliance.
- Contact Glasstream Inc or the selling dealer for campaign status documentation before finalizing the purchase.
