Glastron GLS 195 2009 vs Glastron GS 219 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GLS 195 2009 vs Glastron GS 219 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Glastron GLS 195 2009 at 19,0 ft versus Glastron GS 219 2006 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GLS 195 2009 tips the scales at 2 915 lbs — 2 879 lbs more than the Glastron GS 219 2006 at 36 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 Glastron GS 219 2006 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Glastron GLS 195 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glastron GS 219 2006 carries 56 gallons versus 34 gallons in the Glastron GLS 195 2009. 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 Glastron GLS 195 2009 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Glastron GS 219 2006 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GLS 195 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GLS 195 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GS 219 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
