Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 vs Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 against a modified vee Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 at 20,3 ft versus Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 at 20,1 ft. At 22 lbs and 29 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 carries a rated maximum of 200 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 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 200 GTS 2012 carries 32 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 20,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
