Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron DS 200 2013 vs Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Glastron DS 200 2013 and the Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 are deep 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Glastron DS 200 2013 at 20,1 ft versus Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 tips the scales at 2 832 lbs — 2 561 lbs less than the Glastron DS 200 2013 at 271 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Glastron DS 200 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 20,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron DS 200 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
