Both the Glasstream 328 Pro-X 2011 and the Glasstream 360 SCX 2010 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Glasstream 360 SCX 2010 measures 36,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Glasstream 328 Pro-X 2011 at 32,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glasstream 360 SCX 2010 tips the scales at 7 100 lbs - 1 800 lbs less than the Glasstream 328 Pro-X 2011 at 5 300 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 900 hp, the Glasstream 360 SCX 2010 has a 200-hp advantage over the Glasstream 328 Pro-X 2011's 700-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glasstream 328 Pro-X 2011 carries 300 gallons versus 275 gallons in the Glasstream 360 SCX 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glasstream 360 SCX 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Glasstream 328 Pro-X 2011 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glasstream 360 SCX 2010 could be the deciding factor.
