Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GS 279 2006 vs Glastron GTS 200 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GS 279 2006 vs Glastron GTS 200 2021 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 279 2006 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GTS 200 2021 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 279 2006 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Glastron GTS 200 2021 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GS 279 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GS 279 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 27,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GTS 200 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
