Glastron GTSF 200 2013 vs Glastron GX 235 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glastron GTSF 200 2013 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 GTSF 200 2013 at 20,3 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 — 3 862 lbs less than the Glastron GTSF 200 2013 at 23 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 GTSF 200 2013 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 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 GX 235 2006 caps at 7. 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 GX 235 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
