Glasstream recently produced a boat for the Wilson County Sheriff’s Department in Lebanon Tn. here is what they said about the final product.
”It has exceeded our expectations in every way so far. It rides great and handles rough water at speed better than any boat I’ve ever seen. It is a head turner for sure. Pass along our thanks to every one at the plant for a job well done. This boat looks good but it is also a serous piece of equipment that makes our jobs safer. The Glasstream team is an awesome group of people! Also let every one know this boat will be on display at this years National Sheriff’s Association Show in Nashville Tennessee.
This week we expect to receive our flir camera, it along with the spot light will be mounted soon and we will send more picks then. Thanks Again and keep up the good work!”

About glasstream
Glasstream™, a 32 year company, is a Fishing and Pleasure Boat Manufacturing and Design company. The 25,000 sq ft. facility on 1.8 acres of land is located at 1143 E. 15th St., Panama City, Florida.
Kruis Retherford is the company President and the company’s original founder, A.L. Kirkland, is the Chief of Operations.
Glasstream™ presently manufactures fishing and pleasure boats, ranging from 17’ to 36’. Each model is a new design and is a product of over two decades of research and development. Glasstream™, a trademarked company, has such a unique, state-of-the art hull design that is has earned a copyright/patent.
Glasstream’s™ product line was brought on by demand of the experienced boater who wants it all; performance, style, uncompromising quality and value. The hull originates from the 1988 race boat “Turn of the Century” which went on to take the APBA Divisional Championship in Key West the same year.
Developed as a race prototype, the Glasstream™ hull was one of the first of its kind to be built. This was a radical, new technology at the time but has now become the trend for such performance, v-bottom boats. The step radically improves handing and performance, reducing the amount of drag, initiating more lift. The end result: A very fast, dry and soft ride. Glasstream’s™ quality construction is evident upon first glance and even more so after a hard look; A 100% wood free construction. Everything from the upholstery to the rub rail is made from non-deteriorating materials. The deck and hull are completely glassed together. The stringer system is a molded, foam filled, fiberglass grid system. All the wiring is in tin with heat shrink terminals and breakers that are allocated for each accessory. All boats carry a 10-year hull warranty.
