Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Everglades Boats 243cc 2013 vs Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Everglades Boats 243cc 2013 against a modified vee Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 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 350LX 2009 measures 38,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 13,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Everglades Boats 243cc 2013 at 24,3 feet (2013). At 35 lbs and 108 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 350LX 2009 has a 750-hp advantage over the Everglades Boats 243cc 2013'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 350LX 2009 carries 356 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Everglades Boats 243cc 2013. 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 350LX 2009 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Everglades Boats 243cc 2013 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 350LX 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 38,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Everglades Boats 243cc 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
