Matching a tunnel Blue Wave 1900 STL 2010 against a modified vee Blue Wave 1902 Evolution 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Blue Wave 1900 STL 2010 at 19,0 ft versus Blue Wave 1902 Evolution 2012 at 19,2 ft. At 1 395 lbs and 1 305 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Blue Wave 1900 STL 2010 and 150 hp for the Blue Wave 1902 Evolution 2012. 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 Blue Wave 1902 Evolution 2012 carries 37 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Blue Wave 1900 STL 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 7 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.
