Glastron DX 235 2008 vs Glastron GTSF 200 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Glastron DX 235 2008 against a deep vee Glastron GTSF 200 2013 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 GTSF 200 2013 at 20,3 ft. At 4 lbs and 23 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 2008 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Glastron GTSF 200 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 2008 carries 73 gallons versus 32 gallons in the Glastron GTSF 200 2013. 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 GTSF 200 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Glastron DX 235 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GTSF 200 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GTSF 200 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 20,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron DX 235 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Glastron DX 235 2008 vs Glastron GTSF 200 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Glastron DX 235 2008 or the Glastron GTSF 200 2013?
The Glastron DX 235 2008 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Glastron GTSF 200 2013 comes in at 20,3 feet, making it roughly 1,7 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 GTSF 200 2013?
For trailering, the Glastron DX 235 2008 has the edge at 4 lbs dry weight versus 23 lbs for the Glastron GTSF 200 2013. 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.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?
The Glastron DX 235 2008 has a documented max rating of 320 hp. Engine specifications for the Glastron GTSF 200 2013 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Glastron DX 235 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Glastron GTSF 200 2013 is certified for 9. 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Glastron DX 235 2008 measures 102" wide, compared to 96" for the Glastron GTSF 200 2013. 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 2008 or the Glastron GTSF 200 2013?
The Glastron DX 235 2008 has the bigger tank at 73 gallons, versus 32 gallons on the Glastron GTSF 200 2013. That 41-gallon difference translates to roughly 123–205 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Glastron DX 235 2008 and Glastron GTSF 200 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Glastron DX 235 2008 and the Glastron GTSF 200 2013 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.
