Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 vs Glastron GTS 225 2013 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 and the Glastron GTS 225 2013 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 GS 209 CC 2010 at 20,2 ft versus Glastron GTS 225 2013 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GS 209 CC 2010 tips the scales at 2 832 lbs — 2 799 lbs more than the Glastron GTS 225 2013 at 33 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 GTS 225 2013 is rated for 11 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 GTS 225 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GTS 225 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 22,0 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.
