Glastron DX 235 2006 vs Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Glastron DX 235 2006 vs Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 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 2006 at 22,0 ft versus Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 at 20,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron DX 235 2006 tips the scales at 4 000 lbs - 1 220 lbs more than the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 at 2 780 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Glastron DX 235 2006 has a 165-hp advantage over the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007's 135-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glastron DX 235 2006 carries 73 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

The Glastron DX 235 2006 is rated for up to 6 people. Passenger data for the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 wasn't available.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Glastron DX 235 2006 and its 300-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 with its 135-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Glastron DX 235 2006 vs Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Glastron DX 235 2006 or the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007?
The Glastron DX 235 2006 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 comes in at 20,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Glastron DX 235 2006 or the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007?
For trailering, the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 has the edge at 2 780 lbs dry weight versus 4 000 lbs for the Glastron DX 235 2006. 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.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Glastron DX 235 2006 is rated to a maximum of 300 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 tops out at 135 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many passengers can the Glastron DX 235 2006 carry?
The Glastron DX 235 2006 has an official capacity rating of 6 people. Capacity data wasn't available for the other model in this comparison - verify directly with the dealer.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Glastron DX 235 2006 measures 102" wide, compared to 92" for the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Glastron DX 235 2006 or the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007?
The Glastron DX 235 2006 has the bigger tank at 73 gallons, versus 35 gallons on the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007. That 38-gallon difference translates to roughly 114–190 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Glastron DX 235 2006 and Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Glastron DX 235 2006 and the Glastron GT 205 Ski & Fish 2007 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.
