Both the Everglades Boats 350cc 2010 and the Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 are modified-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 350cc 2010 at 38,0 ft versus Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 at 38,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Everglades Boats 350LX 2009 tips the scales at 10 800 lbs - 1 300 lbs less than the Everglades Boats 350cc 2010 at 9 500 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 - 1 050 hp for the Everglades Boats 350cc 2010 and 1 050 hp for the Everglades Boats 350LX 2009. 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 350cc 2010 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.
