Matching a deep vee Everglades Boats 230cc 2013 against a modified vee Everglades Boats 243cc 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Everglades Boats 243cc 2011 measures 26,9 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Everglades Boats 230cc 2013 at 23,6 feet (2013). At 38 lbs and 35 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 2013 and 300 hp for the Everglades Boats 243cc 2011. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Everglades Boats 230cc 2013 carries 112 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Everglades Boats 243cc 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.
