Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 vs Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat - the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 or the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010?

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 comes in at 20,1 feet, making it roughly 1,9 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer - the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 or the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010?

For trailering, the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 has the edge at 2 900 lbs dry weight versus 3 980 lbs for the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 has a documented max rating of 220 hp. Engine specifications for the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 were not available in our database - check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 is certified for 10. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 and Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 share an 102 in. (2.59 m) beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 or the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010?

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 has the bigger tank at 73 gallons, versus 50 gallons on the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010. That 23-gallon difference translates to roughly 69–115 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 and Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 from the same manufacturer?

Yes - both the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 and the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 are built by Glastron. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 vs Glastron GT 205 DB 2010: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 vs Glastron GT 205 DB 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 GT 205 DB 2010 at 20,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 tips the scales at 3 980 lbs - 1 080 lbs more than the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 at 2 900 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 235 Deck Boat 2007 carries a rated maximum of 220 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GT 205 DB 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 50 gallons in the Glastron GT 205 DB 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 GT 205 DB 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 GT 205 DB 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GT 205 DB 2010 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 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.
