The EdgeWater 228CC 2013 vs EdgeWater 335ex 2014 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The EdgeWater 335ex 2014 measures 33,0 feet overall (2014), giving it roughly 10,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the EdgeWater 228CC 2013 at 22,5 feet (2013).

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 EdgeWater 228CC 2013 carries a rated maximum of 250 hp. Engine data for the EdgeWater 335ex 2014 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the EdgeWater 228CC 2013 carries 125 gallons versus 3 gallons in the EdgeWater 335ex 2014. 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 228CC 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the EdgeWater 335ex 2014 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the EdgeWater 228CC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
