Matching a modified vee Glastron DX 235 2009 against a deep vee Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Glastron DX 235 2009 measures 24,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 3,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 at 20,3 feet (2012). At 4 lbs and 22 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 GT 200 GTS 2012 tops out at 200 hp. Engine specs for the Glastron DX 235 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glastron DX 235 2009 carries 73 gallons versus 32 gallons in the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012. 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 DX 235 2009 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron DX 235 2009 could be the deciding factor.
