Both the Everglades Boats 320EX 2012 and the Everglades Boats 325 Pilot 2013 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Everglades Boats 320EX 2012 at 32,3 ft versus Everglades Boats 325 Pilot 2013 at 32,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Everglades Boats 320EX 2012 tips the scales at 10 800 lbs - 1 800 lbs more than the Everglades Boats 325 Pilot 2013 at 9 000 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 320EX 2012 and 700 hp for the Everglades Boats 325 Pilot 2013. 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 325 Pilot 2013 carries 327 gallons versus 290 gallons in the Everglades Boats 320EX 2012. 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.
