Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GT 205 2013 vs Glastron GT 225 2013 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Glastron GT 205 2013 and the Glastron GT 225 2013 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Glastron GT 205 2013 at 20,5 ft versus Glastron GT 225 2013 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GT 205 2013 tips the scales at 277 lbs — 244 lbs more than the Glastron GT 225 2013 at 33 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GT 225 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Glastron GT 205 2013 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 225 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GT 225 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GT 205 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
