Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GT 160 BR 2013 vs Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GT 160 BR 2013 vs Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Glastron GT 160 BR 2013 measures 16,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 14,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 tips the scales at 278 lbs — 262 lbs less than the Glastron GT 160 BR 2013 at 16 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.
The Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 tops out at 135 hp. Engine specs for the Glastron GT 160 BR 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 carries 35 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Glastron GT 160 BR 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Glastron GT 160 BR 2013 is rated for up to 6 people. Passenger data for the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Glastron GT 160 BR 2013 at 16,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
