When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 and the Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 at 35,0 ft versus Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 at 38,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 tips the scales at 926 lbs — 818 lbs more than the Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 at 108 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 350LX 2009 tops out at 1 050 hp. Engine specs for the Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Everglades Boats 350cc 2007 carries 411 gallons versus 356 gallons in the Everglades Boats 350LX 2009. 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.
