Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 vs Everglades Boats 355T 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 against a deep vee Everglades Boats 355T 2013 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 355T 2013 measures 35,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 8,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 at 26,9 feet (2010). At 35 lbs and 95 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 Everglades Boats 355T 2013 has a 750-hp advantage over the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010's 300-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Everglades Boats 355T 2013 carries 411 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010. 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 Everglades Boats 355T 2013 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Everglades Boats 355T 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Everglades Boats 355T 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 35,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 vs Everglades Boats 355T 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 or the Everglades Boats 355T 2013?
The Everglades Boats 355T 2013 is the longer of the two at 35,3 feet overall. The Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 comes in at 26,9 feet, making it roughly 8,4 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 or the Everglades Boats 355T 2013?
For trailering, the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 has the edge at 35 lbs dry weight versus 95 lbs for the Everglades Boats 355T 2013. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Everglades Boats 355T 2013 is rated to a maximum of 1 050 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 tops out at 300 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 12 passengers, while the Everglades Boats 355T 2013 is certified for 14. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Everglades Boats 355T 2013 measures 128" wide, compared to 98" for the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 or the Everglades Boats 355T 2013?
The Everglades Boats 355T 2013 has the bigger tank at 411 gallons, versus 8 gallons on the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010. That 403-gallon difference translates to roughly 1209–2015 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 and Everglades Boats 355T 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Everglades Boats 243cc 2010 and the Everglades Boats 355T 2013 are built by Everglades Boats. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
