Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 vs Glastron GTSF 160 BR 2013 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 and the Glastron GTSF 160 BR 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 GTS 160 CB 2013 at 16,5 ft versus Glastron GTSF 160 BR 2013 at 16,5 ft. At 13 lbs and 16 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.
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 GTS 160 CB 2013 and Glastron GTSF 160 BR 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.
