Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GLS 195 2010 vs Glastron GT 205 DB 2010: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GLS 195 2010 is a deep-V design and the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Glastron GLS 195 2010 at 19,3 ft versus Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 at 20,1 ft. At 2 915 lbs and 2 900 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Glastron GLS 195 2010 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 20,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GLS 195 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
