The Everglades 350 CC 2009 vs Everglades Boats 350EX 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Everglades 350 CC 2009 at 35,4 ft versus Everglades Boats 350EX 2013 at 35,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Everglades 350 CC 2009 tips the scales at 9 500 lbs — 9 377 lbs more than the Everglades Boats 350EX 2013 at 123 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 1 050 hp, the Everglades Boats 350EX 2013 has a 700-hp advantage over the Everglades 350 CC 2009's 350-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 350EX 2013 carries 382 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Everglades 350 CC 2009. 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 350EX 2013 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Everglades 350 CC 2009 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Everglades Boats 350EX 2013 could be the deciding factor.
