When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Everglades Boats 350EX 2010 and the Everglades Boats 350LX 2012 are deep 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 350EX 2010 at 35,3 ft versus Everglades Boats 350LX 2012 at 35,3 ft. At 123 lbs and 108 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 1 050 hp for the Everglades Boats 350EX 2010 and 1 050 hp for the Everglades Boats 350LX 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 350EX 2010 carries 382 gallons versus 356 gallons in the Everglades Boats 350LX 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.
