Glastron DX 235 2008 vs Glastron GT 225 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Glastron DX 235 2008 against a deep vee Glastron GT 225 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Glastron DX 235 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Glastron GT 225 2008 at 21,0 ft. At 4 lbs and 3 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Glastron DX 235 2008 and 320 hp for the Glastron GT 225 2008. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glastron DX 235 2008 carries 73 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Glastron GT 225 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

The Glastron DX 235 2008 is rated for up to 6 people. Passenger data for the Glastron GT 225 2008 wasn't available.

Bottom line: The Glastron DX 235 2008 and Glastron GT 225 2008 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.

Glastron DX 235 2008 vs Glastron GT 225 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Glastron DX 235 2008 or the Glastron GT 225 2008?
The Glastron DX 235 2008 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Glastron GT 225 2008 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 1,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Glastron DX 235 2008 or the Glastron GT 225 2008?
For trailering, the Glastron GT 225 2008 has the edge at 3 lbs dry weight versus 4 lbs for the Glastron DX 235 2008. 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 has the larger fuel tank — the Glastron DX 235 2008 or the Glastron GT 225 2008?
The Glastron DX 235 2008 has the bigger tank at 73 gallons, versus 35 gallons on the Glastron GT 225 2008. That 38-gallon difference translates to roughly 114–190 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Yes — both the Glastron DX 235 2008 and the Glastron GT 225 2008 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.
