Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GT 185 Bowrider 2007 vs Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GT 185 Bowrider 2007 vs Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Glastron GT 185 Bowrider 2007 at 18,0 ft versus Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 at 16,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GT 185 Bowrider 2007 tips the scales at 2 315 lbs — 2 302 lbs more than the Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 at 13 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 185 Bowrider 2007 carries a rated maximum of 135 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glastron GT 185 Bowrider 2007 carries 23 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Glastron GT 185 Bowrider 2007 and Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
