Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GS 249 2013 vs Glastron GTD 240 2020 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GS 249 2013 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GTD 240 2020 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Glastron GS 249 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GTD 240 2020 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GTD 240 2020 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GS 249 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
