As a lover of deck boats, my personal leaning has always been towards the Glastron brand, especially their 2010 GT 205 model. I've been following See Dealer Cost for quite some time now, and their feature on the 2010 Glastron GT 205 deck boat brought back a wave of nostalgic feelings. With a boat length of 20'1", a beam of 102", and a depth of 50 1/2", these stats still impress me a decade after the boat was released.
The boat was a trailblazer in its heyday, boasting an approximate weight of 2900 lbs with a 4.3L MerCruiser, a draft drive unit up at 13" and down at 28", a transom width of 94", and a transom Deadrise of 17°. With a generous fuel capacity of 50 gallons, the GT 205 was designed for long, adventurous takes on the open water.
One of the most astonishing aspects of the 2010 Glastron GT 205 boat was being able to accommodate a maximum of 10 passengers without compromising on performance. This unique capacity, tying with the 1400 lbs max load, was a game-changer in the boating industry.
The 2010 Glastron GT 205 deck boat encapsulated a perfect blend of function and style. Its design and comprehensive instrumentation panel; speedometer, tachometer, trim, fuel, oil pressure, voltmeter and engine temperature gauges were navigation friendly and sophisticated. Moreover, its NMMA certification verified its quality. Other must-have features included an aerated livewell, an AM/FM Sirius® satellite-ready stereo with MP3 adaptor, automatic bilge pump and more.
The boat was also fitted with elegant synthetic drink holders, synthetic passenger grab handles, and a SuspensionAire adjustable bucket seat. Also, the walk-thru transom with gate and wraparound bow seats added a touch of luxury. Additionally, the GT 205 was equipped with an EZ Loader Custom Trailer with brakes, making transporting it to and from the water a breeze.
Even with a substantial invoice price of $22,915.00 and an MSRP of $32,736.00 as shown on See Dealer Cost, I believe the Glastron GT 205 Deckboat 2010 would have been a worthy investment for any boat enthusiast. Seeing this boat feature on the website after so many years reminded me of the innovation and craftsmanship that Glastron Boats has consistently produced, even to this day. Indeed, this is a brand that continues to excel in the Deck Boats category.

More Information Can Be Found On Glsstron Boats At: https://glastron.com/us/
When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
