Glastron GT 200 2013 vs Glastron GT 205 2008 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Glastron GT 200 2013 and the Glastron GT 205 2008 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

At 242 lbs and 278 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 205 2008 tops out at 270 hp. Engine specs for the Glastron GT 200 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 32 gal and 35 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
