Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glastron 215GX 2022 vs Glastron GLS 215 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron 215GX 2022 vs Glastron GLS 215 2012 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 GLS 215 2012 tops out at 300 hp. Engine specs for the Glastron 215GX 2022 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GLS 215 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Glastron 215GX 2022 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GLS 215 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GLS 215 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 21,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron 215GX 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
