The Glastron DX 215 Deck Boat 2007 vs Glastron GT 160 CB 2013 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Glastron GT 160 CB 2013 measures 16,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 14,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Glastron DX 215 Deck Boat 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron DX 215 Deck Boat 2007 tips the scales at 395 lbs — 379 lbs more than the Glastron GT 160 CB 2013 at 16 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The Glastron DX 215 Deck Boat 2007 carries a rated maximum of 220 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GT 160 CB 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glastron DX 215 Deck Boat 2007 carries 56 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Glastron GT 160 CB 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
