Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GT 249 2008 vs Glastron GTS 200 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GT 249 2008 vs Glastron GTS 200 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.
The Glastron GT 249 2008 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GTS 200 2021 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Glastron GT 249 2008 at 24,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Glastron GTS 200 2021 at 20,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
