Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GS 249 2012 vs Glastron GTD 240 2020 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GS 249 2012 vs Glastron GTD 240 2020 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Glastron GS 249 2012 carries a rated maximum of 300 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GTD 240 2020 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GS 249 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Glastron GTD 240 2020 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GS 249 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GS 249 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GTD 240 2020 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
