When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Everglades Boats 290cc 2008 and the Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 measures 35,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Everglades Boats 290cc 2008 at 28,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 tips the scales at 926 lbs — 878 lbs less than the Everglades Boats 290cc 2008 at 48 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Everglades Boats 290cc 2008 carries a rated maximum of 600 hp. Engine data for the Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 carries 411 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Everglades Boats 290cc 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 14 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.
Bottom line: The Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 at 35,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Everglades Boats 290cc 2008 at 28,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
