2009 Glacier Bay 3080

If you're not familiar, Glacier Bay's semi-displacement hulls are a remarkable example of build quality. The grid structure in each hull includes 7-10 full width bulkheads ranging in height from 178mm to 609mm and combined with a multitude of ribs and stringers for extra strength.

All Glacier Bay stems are reinforced with Kevlar and 6-10 layers of premium E-glass 24oz woven roving. The Kevlar runs the full length of the stem and wraps around to the keel. Foam filled, watertight compartments throughout the hull offer added security at sea.

In most areas the hull is laminated with 15.9mm to 22.2mm of solid fiberglass, and backed up with 127mm to 203mm of cross linked urethane foam and then reinforced with the hull's inner lining.

Safety features include a double-bottomed hull with foam filled collision compartments and four watertight compartments each with auto pumps.

The large, open, aft cockpit is a good hint this boat has been built for fishing, a feeling reinforced by the long rod rack (holds 6 rods), padded inner combings, two insulated in-deck fish wells, saltwater deck wash-down and rocket launchers.

Below decks, the 3080 features a well-equipped galley with Corian counter tops, sink, stove, fridge and microwave. There is a forward 'king-size' berth and a separate head with shower (hot and cold). These areas are well finished and accessed via port side steps across from the helm. The vessel layout focuses on outdoors with an upmarket wet bar servicing the curvaceous settee with timber table. The helm seat folds forward to reveal a cooktop that converts the wet bar into a complete indoor/outdoor galley.
