Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GS 289 SC 2010 vs Glastron GT 245 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GS 289 SC 2010 vs Glastron GT 245 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GS 289 SC 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Glastron GT 245 2021 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 289 SC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GS 289 SC 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 30,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GT 245 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
