Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
EdgeWater 280CX 2013 vs EdgeWater 320CC 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The EdgeWater 280CX 2013 vs EdgeWater 320CC 2022 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 600 hp, the EdgeWater 280CX 2013 has a 300-hp advantage over the EdgeWater 320CC 2022's 300-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 2 gal and 3 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The EdgeWater 280CX 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the EdgeWater 320CC 2022 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the EdgeWater 280CX 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the EdgeWater 280CX 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 28,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The EdgeWater 320CC 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
