When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Glasstream 328 Pro-XS 2013 and the Glasstream 360 SCX 2012 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — 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 2012 measures 36,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Glasstream 328 Pro-XS 2013 at 32,0 feet (2013). At 53 lbs and 71 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 900 hp, the Glasstream 360 SCX 2012 has a 200-hp advantage over the Glasstream 328 Pro-XS 2013'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 360 SCX 2012 carries 275 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Glasstream 328 Pro-XS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
