Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 vs Glastron GLS 215 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 vs Glastron GLS 215 2010 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 at 22,0 ft versus Glastron GLS 215 2010 at 21,3 ft. At 398 lbs and 333 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 carries a rated maximum of 220 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GLS 215 2010 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 235 Deck Boat 2007 carries 73 gallons versus 34 gallons in the Glastron GLS 215 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glastron GLS 215 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 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 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GLS 215 2010 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 DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
