Matching a deep vee Mako Boats 234 CC 2013 against a modified vee Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Mako Boats 234 CC 2013 at 23,3 ft versus Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2010 at 26,0 ft. At 41 lbs and 45 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Mako Boats 234 CC 2013 has a 75-hp advantage over the Mako Boats 264 Center Console 2010's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
