Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GT 185 2013 vs Glastron GT 245 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GT 185 2013 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 GT 185 2013 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 GT 185 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GT 185 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 18,0 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.
