SPANISH:
No vendo solamente un barco. Vendo una experiencia familiar cuidada, documentada y lista para que el próximo dueño la disfrute.
Vendo mi Glastron 27.9 pies, con motor Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi V8 DuoProp, aproximadamente 320 horas, trailer Continental, título y papeles en regla.
Este bote fue siempre de uso familiar y mantenido por mí con mucho cuidado. Para mí nunca fue simplemente “un bote”; fue mi pasatiempo, mi lugar de desconexión y una forma de compartir buenos momentos en familia. Lo vendo porque hoy es el momento de hacerlo, no porque haya dejado de quererlo. Al contrario, es un bote que todavía tiene mucho para dar y merece alguien que lo siga cuidando y disfrutando.
El bote está listo para usar. Todo funciona como corresponde y siempre se mantuvo de manera preventiva, haciendo las cosas a tiempo y con criterio. No esperé a que los problemas aparecieran: fui manteniendo, actualizando y mejorando cada detalle importante para poder salir al agua con tranquilidad.
Tiene cerramientos completos de cristal, sus fundas de guardado, lona, cabina cómoda para uso familiar, trailer incluido, y entrego también los manuales técnicos/de taller del motor Volvo Penta. Tengo además registros, bitácora y facturas disponibles de los trabajos, mantenimiento y mejoras realizadas.
El motor es un Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi, un V8 marino confiable y potente, con sistema DuoProp Penta. La unidad DuoProp fue hecha nueva por Boatmasters. El bote tiene muy poco uso desde la pandemia, aproximadamente 4 a 6 salidas por año, pero lo arranco casi todas las semanas un rato para mantenerlo activo y en buen estado.
Este Glastron está equipado para mucho más que salir a dar una vuelta. Tiene todo lo necesario para pasar días completos en el agua, noches tranquilas en marina o incluso dormir a bordo cómodamente. Cuenta con instalación de 12V y 110V, agua fría y caliente, conversores, preparación para paneles solares, TV, microondas, cocina eléctrica, heladera, parrilla a gas en cubierta, toilette con ducha en cabina y un sistema de audio potente con más de 10 bocinas.
También tiene dos sistemas de aire acondicionado: uno de 110V en el camarote principal y otro sistema de refrigeración por agua para la cabina. En el camarote de popa pueden dormir 2 adultos, y en la proa el salón se convierte en cama para 2 o 3 personas. En cubierta es ideal como day cruiser para 6 personas cómodas, aunque 8 personas es totalmente posible.
Incluyo todos los elementos de seguridad: bengalas, chalecos salvavidas para los ocupantes, radio adicional de emergencia, botiquín de primeros auxilios y todo lo necesario para salir con tranquilidad.

No estoy vendiendo solo un barco. Estoy vendiendo una experiencia completa: un bote cuidado, equipado, conocido, documentado y listo para seguir dando buenos momentos.
Busco un comprador que valore no solo el bote, sino también el cuidado que tuvo. Soy transparente con todo y puedo mostrar la bitácora, registros y facturas disponibles.

Not just a boat — a cared-for family experience, well documented and ready for the next owner to enjoy.

I am selling my 27.9 ft Glastron, powered by a Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi V8 DuoProp, with approximately 320 hours, a Continental trailer, clean title, and paperwork in order.

This has always been a family boat, personally maintained by me with care, responsibility, and pride. To me, it was never just “a boat.” It has been my hobby, my way to disconnect, and a place to enjoy time with family. I am selling it because this is the right time for me, not because I stopped loving it. Quite the opposite — this boat still has a lot to give and deserves someone who will continue to care for it and enjoy it.

The boat is ready to use. Everything works as it should, and it has always been maintained preventively and on time. I never waited for things to fail. I kept up with maintenance, updates, and important details so the boat could be enjoyed with confidence.

It includes full clear enclosure panels, their storage covers, a boat cover, a comfortable family cabin, trailer, and I will also include the Volvo Penta technical/shop manuals for the engine. I also have maintenance records, a service log, and invoices available for the work, parts, and upgrades.

The engine is a Volvo Penta 5.0 GXi, a strong and reliable marine V8, paired with the Penta DuoProp system. The DuoProp unit was redone/new by Boatmasters. The boat has had very light use since the pandemic, approximately 4 to 6 outings per year, but I start it almost every week for a while to keep everything active and in good condition.

This Glastron is equipped for much more than a simple day on the water. It has everything needed for full days out, peaceful nights at the marina, or overnight stays on board. It has both 12V and 110V systems, cold and hot water lines, converters, solar panel preparation, TV, microwave, electric cooktop, refrigerator, gas grill on deck, cabin toilet with shower, and a powerful sound system with more than 10 speakers.

It also has two air conditioning systems: one 110V unit in the main cabin and a water-cooled system for the cabin area. The aft cabin can sleep 2 adults, and the forward salon converts into a bed for 2 or 3 people. On deck, it is a very comfortable day cruiser for 6 people, and 8 people is absolutely possible.

All safety equipment is included: flares, life jackets for occupants, an additional emergency radio, first aid kit, and everything needed to go out with peace of mind.

I am not just selling a boat. I am selling a complete experience: a cared-for, well-equipped, well-documented boat that is ready to keep creating great memories.
I am looking for a buyer who values not only the boat, but also the care behind it. I will be transparent with serious buyers and can provide the service log, records, and available invoices.
