Everglades Boats 230cc 2011 vs Everglades Boats 230cc 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Everglades Boats 230cc 2011 against a deep vee Everglades Boats 230cc 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Everglades Boats 230cc 2011 at 23,6 ft versus Everglades Boats 230cc 2012 at 23,6 ft. At 38 lbs and 38 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 300 hp for the Everglades Boats 230cc 2011 and 300 hp for the Everglades Boats 230cc 2012. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 112 gal and 112 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 12 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
