Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 vs Glastron GT 205 SF 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 vs Glastron GT 205 SF 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 SF 2010 at 20,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 tips the scales at 398 lbs — 123 lbs more than the Glastron GT 205 SF 2010 at 275 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 SF 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 35 gallons in the Glastron GT 205 SF 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 SF 2010 is rated for 9 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 SF 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GT 205 SF 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 20,7 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.

The Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Glastron GT 205 SF 2010 comes in at 20,7 feet, making it roughly 1,3 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Glastron DX 235 Deck Boat 2007 or the Glastron GT 205 SF 2010?
For trailering, the Glastron GT 205 SF 2010 has the edge at 275 lbs dry weight versus 398 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.
