The Everglades 395 CC 2022 vs Everglades Boats 230DC 2012 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Everglades 395 CC 2022 measures 42,2 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 18,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Everglades Boats 230DC 2012 at 23,6 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Everglades Boats 230DC 2012 tips the scales at 3 400 lbs - 2 050 lbs less than the Everglades 395 CC 2022 at 1 350 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 - 300 hp for the Everglades 395 CC 2022 and 300 hp for the Everglades Boats 230DC 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 395 CC 2022 carries 600 gallons versus 112 gallons in the Everglades Boats 230DC 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 12 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.
