Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GLS 195 2013 vs Glastron SSV 175 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 SSV 175 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 SSV 175 2010 at 17,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GLS 195 2013 tips the scales at 2 915 lbs — 2 711 lbs more than the Glastron SSV 175 2010 at 204 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 GLS 195 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Glastron SSV 175 2010 caps at 7. 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 SSV 175 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
