Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GLS 195 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 GLS 195 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 GLS 195 2013 at 19,3 ft versus Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 at 20,2 ft. At 2 915 lbs and 2 832 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 GLS 195 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GLS 195 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GLS 195 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 19,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
