Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GT 205 2008 vs Glastron MX 205 2013: A Close Look at Two Deep-V Boats
Both the Glastron GT 205 2008 and the Glastron MX 205 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Glastron GT 205 2008 at 20,0 ft versus Glastron MX 205 2013 at 20,7 ft. At 2 780 lbs and 2 750 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 carries a rated maximum of 270 hp. Engine data for the Glastron MX 205 2013 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 35 gal and 34 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Bottom line: The Glastron GT 205 2008 and Glastron MX 205 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.
