Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GLS 195 2013 vs Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Glastron GLS 195 2013 against a modified vee Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely 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 2013 at 19,3 ft versus Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 at 20,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GLS 195 2013 tips the scales at 2 915 lbs — 2 886 lbs more than the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 at 29 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 GT 205 DB 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Glastron GLS 195 2013 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 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
