Matching a modified vee EdgeWater 240IS 2012 against a deep vee EdgeWater 388CC 2008 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 388CC 2008 measures 38,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the EdgeWater 240IS 2012 at 24,0 feet (2012). At 27 lbs and 96 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 1 050 hp, the EdgeWater 388CC 2008 has a 700-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 34 gallons in the EdgeWater 388CC 2008. 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 388CC 2008 is rated for 11 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 388CC 2008 could be the deciding factor.
