Overview

The Glastron GT205 Ski and Fish is a versatile 20-foot boat designed for both recreational skiing and fishing activities. Its manageable size and trailerability make it an ideal choice for vacationers looking to easily transport and launch the boat on various lakes. This model combines practical features with performance suited for family fun and water sports.

Dimensions and Weight

The GT205 Ski and Fish measures 20 feet 8 inches in length overall, with a beam of 7 feet 8 inches and a draft of 31.5 inches. The boat has an empty weight of 2,750 pounds. Including 26.25 gallons of fuel and two occupants, the test weight recorded was just over 2,900 pounds.

Handling and Steering

Handling the GT205 reveals a balanced approach to maneuverability and control. When executing hard turns, the boat exhibits a slight slide that enhances comfort without compromising control. Steering is facilitated through fingertip controls, providing a comfortable experience despite the absence of feedback steering. The boat’s bow rises approximately 16 degrees during hole shots; however, the short bow design ensures visibility is only briefly affected. Trim adjustments influence spray patterns and speed, with spray moving aft as trim is increased, resulting in higher speeds. For precise maneuvering, lowering the trim shifts spray forward and improves control.

Power and Performance

Powered by a 4.3 GXI Volvo Penta engine, the GT205 achieved a top speed of 49.4 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM. At this speed, fuel consumption was 17.5 gallons per hour, equating to 2.82 miles per gallon and a range of approximately 89 miles. A more economical cruise at 3,000 RPM yielded 27.7 miles per hour with a fuel burn of 6.5 gallons per hour, improving efficiency to 4.26 miles per gallon and extending the range to 134 miles. The boat planes quickly, reaching planing speed in 3.3 seconds and accelerating from zero to 30 miles per hour in 8.5 seconds. These performance characteristics make the GT205 suitable for water skiing, particularly for beginners.

Instrumentation and Helm Features

Glastron has equipped the GT205 Ski and Fish with a comprehensive set of instruments, surpassing the basic gauge configurations typical of similar boats. The helm features large speedometer and tachometer gauges centrally positioned, flanked by fluid and temperature gauges. A trim gauge and an optional depth gauge are prominently displayed in the center. The gauges are mounted on a faux wood panel that aesthetically complements the wood steering wheel, providing a refined look without the maintenance requirements of real wood. Visibility over the windshield is adequate, though a flip-up bolster would enhance the operator’s view and comfort.

Stopping and Momentum

When coming to a stop, the GT205 exhibits noticeable forward momentum, resulting in a slide before deceleration. As the boat slows, the stern settles first, followed by the bow, creating a gradual settling motion from stern to bow rather than a pronounced bow rise.

Conclusion

The Glastron GT205 Ski and Fish presents a well-rounded package for recreational boaters seeking a trailerable, easy-to-handle vessel capable of both fishing and skiing activities. Its balanced handling, quick planing, and thoughtful instrumentation contribute to an enjoyable on-water experience. While minor enhancements such as a flip-up bolster could improve operator comfort, overall the GT205 offers a compelling option for families and casual water sports enthusiasts.
