Matching a deep vee EdgeWater 190IS 2013 against a modified vee EdgeWater 240IS 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 EdgeWater 240IS 2012 measures 24,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the EdgeWater 190IS 2013 at 19,5 feet (2013). At 2 lbs and 27 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 has a 200-hp advantage over the EdgeWater 190IS 2013's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 carries 77 gallons versus 45 gallons in the EdgeWater 190IS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 8 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.
