Both the Everglades Boats 295CC 2013 and the Everglades Boats 325CC 2012 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 325CC 2012 measures 32,3 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Everglades Boats 295CC 2013 at 28,6 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Everglades Boats 325CC 2012 tips the scales at 9 000 lbs - 2 700 lbs less than the Everglades Boats 295CC 2013 at 6 300 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 700 hp for the Everglades Boats 295CC 2013 and 700 hp for the Everglades Boats 325CC 2012. 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 325CC 2012 carries 327 gallons versus 200 gallons in the Everglades Boats 295CC 2013. 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.
