A fun day boat for just £50,000
Glastron's twin-cabin GS289 is a good all-round cruiser that is great value for money.
Glastron boats cater more for the budget end of the market, but the firm's new, twin-cabin GS289 model comes with an improved level of fit and finish, and is its "most luxurious boat yet", says Motorboats Monthly.
It'll cost you just £50,858. For that, you get a fairly generic design. But it is lifted out of the ordinary by some subtle and classy touches: the canopy has been given "real thought", with easy to use plastic fixings; the bathing platform leads you into a teak laid cockpit; and below decks kitchen and lounge areas make "impressive" use of the space available. There is stainless steel where rivals would skimp with plastic, says Boattest.com, and you'll have everything you'll need for a weekend onboard, from a refrigerator and microwave and TV to an 18-gallon water tank.
