Glastron GT 225 2009 vs Glastron GX 235 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Glastron GT 225 2009 vs Glastron GX 235 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Glastron GT 225 2009 at 21,0 ft versus Glastron GX 235 2006 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Glastron GX 235 2006 tips the scales at 3 885 lbs — 3 882 lbs less than the Glastron GT 225 2009 at 3 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.

The Glastron GX 235 2006 tops out at 320 hp. Engine specs for the Glastron GT 225 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Glastron GX 235 2006 carries 47 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Glastron GT 225 2009. 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 GX 235 2006 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Glastron GT 225 2009 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glastron GX 235 2006 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Glastron GX 235 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glastron GT 225 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Glastron GT 225 2009 vs Glastron GX 235 2006 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Glastron GT 225 2009 or the Glastron GX 235 2006?
The Glastron GX 235 2006 is the longer of the two at 23,0 feet overall. The Glastron GT 225 2009 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Glastron GT 225 2009 or the Glastron GX 235 2006?
For trailering, the Glastron GT 225 2009 has the edge at 3 lbs dry weight versus 3 885 lbs for the Glastron GX 235 2006. 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 GX 235 2006 has a documented max rating of 320 hp. Engine specifications for the Glastron GT 225 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 GT 225 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 1 passengers, while the Glastron GX 235 2006 is certified for 7. 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 GX 235 2006 measures 102" wide, compared to 100" for the Glastron GT 225 2009. 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 GT 225 2009 or the Glastron GX 235 2006?
The Glastron GX 235 2006 has the bigger tank at 47 gallons, versus 35 gallons on the Glastron GT 225 2009. That 12-gallon difference translates to roughly 36–60 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Glastron GT 225 2009 and Glastron GX 235 2006 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Glastron GT 225 2009 and the Glastron GX 235 2006 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.
