Glastron DX 235 2009 vs Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

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.

Bottom line: Choose the Glastron DX 235 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Glastron DX 235 2009 vs Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Glastron DX 235 2009 or the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012?
The Glastron DX 235 2009 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 comes in at 20,3 feet, making it roughly 3,7 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Glastron DX 235 2009 or the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012?
For trailering, the Glastron DX 235 2009 has the edge at 4 lbs dry weight versus 22 lbs for the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012. 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 GT 200 GTS 2012 has a documented max rating of 200 hp. Engine specifications for the Glastron DX 235 2009 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 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 13 passengers, while the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 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 2009 measures 102" wide, compared to 96" for the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012. 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 2009 or the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012?
The Glastron DX 235 2009 has the bigger tank at 73 gallons, versus 32 gallons on the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012. 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 2009 and Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Glastron DX 235 2009 and the Glastron GT 200 GTS 2012 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.
