The Glastron DX 235 2006 vs Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Glastron DX 235 2006 measures 22,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 5,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Glastron GTS 160 CB 2013 at 16,5 feet (2013). At 4 lbs and 13 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 2006 carries a rated maximum of 300 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GTS 160 CB 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 235 2006 carries 73 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Glastron GTS 160 CB 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.
