Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Everglades Boats 250CC 2011 vs Everglades Boats 355T 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Everglades Boats 250CC 2011 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 8,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Everglades Boats 250CC 2011 at 27,3 feet (2011). At 51 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 650-hp advantage over the Everglades Boats 250CC 2011's 400-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 163 gallons in the Everglades Boats 250CC 2011. 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 250CC 2011 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 250CC 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
