Matching a modified vee Glastron DX 235 2008 against a deep vee Glastron GX 205 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 GX 205 2008 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GX 205 2008 tips the scales at 3 025 lbs — 3 021 lbs less than the Glastron DX 235 2008 at 4 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Glastron DX 235 2008 and 320 hp for the Glastron GX 205 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 GX 205 2008. 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.
Bottom line: The Glastron DX 235 2008 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Glastron GX 205 2008 at 19,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
