Matching a modified vee Glastron DX 215 2008 against a deep vee Glastron GTS 160 BR 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Glastron GTS 160 BR 2013 measures 16,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 14,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Glastron DX 215 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron DX 215 2008 tips the scales at 393 lbs — 374 lbs more than the Glastron GTS 160 BR 2013 at 19 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 2008 carries a rated maximum of 300 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GTS 160 BR 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 2008 carries 56 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Glastron GTS 160 BR 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.
