Glastron GT 205: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Glastron GT 205 Ski and Fish is a versatile boat designed to cater to both fishing enthusiasts and recreational skiers. This model combines practical fishing features with amenities that support water sports, making it suitable for families and individuals seeking a multi-purpose vessel.

Fishing Features and Exterior Design

At the bow, the GT 205 Ski and Fish is equipped with a Minn Kota 55-pound thrust trolling motor, pre-rigged for plug-and-play convenience. The bow area is designed for comfort and functionality, featuring flip-up cushions that convert into comfortable seats with convenient grab rails. Two removable pedestal seats are mounted on bases integrated into the bow, allowing anglers to sit comfortably while fishing. Adding a middle piece transforms the bow into a full casting deck, complete with an additional pedestal base for an elevated seat. The walk-through windshield can be closed to reduce draft or opened and secured with a snap to prevent unintended closure. Its sturdy stainless steel supports provide reliable strength and support. The gunwale design is notable, with drops in both the stern and bow that enhance visibility and add a distinctive aesthetic touch.

Cockpit and Storage

The cockpit area continues the fishing-friendly design with ample rod storage on the port side and additional compartments on the starboard side. A pull-out cooler on stainless steel sliders offers convenient access to refreshments. Underneath the aft seats, open storage compartments allow easy visibility and access to stored items. The boat features stainless steel accents throughout, including speaker grills, contributing to its quality finish. A full-length sun pad is situated aft, which can be removed to reveal a pedestal base for an additional fishing or casting platform. The stern includes a molded swim platform and an extended swim platform equipped with a three-step boarding ladder for easy water access.

Instrumentation and Electronics

Glastron has outfitted the GT 205 Ski and Fish with a comprehensive set of instrumentation beyond the basic gauges typically found in similar boats. The largest gauges display speed and tachometer readings, flanked by fluid and temperature gauges. Centrally positioned are the trim gauge and an optional depth gauge, both considered essential for operation. These instruments are mounted on a faux wood accent panel that complements the wood steering wheel, providing an attractive and maintenance-free finish. Additionally, a Lowrance X50 DS fish finder is installed behind the windshield, enhancing the boat's fishing capabilities.

Power and Performance

The GT 205 Ski and Fish is powered by a Volvo Penta 4.3 GXI engine delivering 270 horsepower. The boat features two onboard batteries: one deep cycle trolling battery dedicated to the trolling motor and another for starting the engine. Performance testing indicated favorable time-to-plane numbers, suggesting the boat is well-suited for water skiing activities, including for beginners. The end deck includes storage designed for skis and wakeboards, underscoring the boat's dual-purpose nature.

Additional Amenities

On the port side, the passenger benefits from a large storage compartment that houses a stereo system with an MP3 jack, enhancing onboard entertainment. The starboard side of the engine compartment contains an aerated live well, supporting fishing activities by keeping bait or catch alive. Throughout the boat, stainless steel hardware and fittings contribute to durability and aesthetic appeal.

Conclusion

The Glastron GT 205 Ski and Fish presents a well-rounded package for those seeking a boat that performs effectively both as a fishing platform and a recreational ski boat. Its thoughtful design, quality construction, and comprehensive features make it a versatile choice for families and anglers alike.
