Glastron DS 200 2013 vs Glastron GX 235 2005: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron DS 200 2013 vs Glastron GX 235 2005 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 GX 235 2005 tops out at 270 hp. Engine specs for the Glastron DS 200 2013 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 50 gal and 47 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron DS 200 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Glastron GX 235 2005 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron DS 200 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glastron DS 200 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 20,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GX 235 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
