Matching a deep vee EdgeWater 205EX 2010 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 22,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the EdgeWater 205EX 2010 at 2,0 feet (2010). At 28 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 125-hp advantage over the EdgeWater 205EX 2010's 225-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 9 gallons in the EdgeWater 205EX 2010. 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 EdgeWater 240IS 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the EdgeWater 205EX 2010 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 could be the deciding factor.
