Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft 235V 2010 vs MasterCraft PS190 2013 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the MasterCraft 235V 2010 and the MasterCraft PS190 2013 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The MasterCraft 235V 2010 measures 23,4 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the MasterCraft PS190 2013 at 19,7 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the MasterCraft 235V 2010 tips the scales at 465 lbs — 432 lbs more than the MasterCraft PS190 2013 at 33 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The MasterCraft 235V 2010 is rated for 16 passengers, while the MasterCraft PS190 2013 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the MasterCraft 235V 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MasterCraft 235V 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 23,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MasterCraft PS190 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
