Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GT 160 CB 2012 vs Glastron GTS 225 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GT 160 CB 2012 vs Glastron GTS 225 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 GT 160 CB 2012 carries a rated maximum of 115 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GTS 225 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 GTS 225 2021 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Glastron GT 160 CB 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GTS 225 2021 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GTS 225 2021 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GT 160 CB 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
