Matching a modified vee EdgeWater 240IS 2012 against a deep vee EdgeWater 268CC 2011 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 — EdgeWater 240IS 2012 at 24,0 ft versus EdgeWater 268CC 2011 at 26,5 ft. At 27 lbs and 5 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 500 hp, the EdgeWater 268CC 2011 has a 150-hp advantage over the EdgeWater 240IS 2012's 350-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 2 gallons in the EdgeWater 268CC 2011. 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 268CC 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the EdgeWater 268CC 2011 could be the deciding factor.
