2690 Coastal Runner

With her fully enclosed pilothouse, cozy accommodations, and roomy cockpit, the Glacier Bay 2690 Coastal Runner hits all the right buttons for boaters looking for a versatile and fuel-efficient trailerable cruiser. Glacier Bay enthusiasts can argue about whether the Coastal Runner is more fishboat than family cruiser; the fact is that she’s a true crossover boat with genuine appeal to both groups. Like all Glacier Bay models, the 2690 rides on a pair of foam-filled hulls whose full-displacement design ensures a soft, stable ride even in challenging sea conditions. Entering the cabin via a sliding glass door, a two-person dinette—with refrigerator under the forward seat—is to port, and a small galley with sink and stove is to starboard, just behind the helm seat. Rod storage racks are overhead, and a queen berth is forward along with a 12V marine head with holding tank. Note that the cabin is slightly offset to port, which makes the starboard walkaround slightly wider than portside walkway. Cockpit features include a 32-gallon livewell, tackle box, two in-deck fish boxes, and a transom sink and cutting board. Yamaha 150s cruise efficiently at 25 knots (about 30 knots top).
