Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MasterCraft 245V 2010 vs MasterCraft X-35 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee MasterCraft 245V 2010 against a deep vee MasterCraft X-35 2013 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 — MasterCraft 245V 2010 at 24,2 ft versus MasterCraft X-35 2013 at 23,4 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the MasterCraft X-35 2013 tips the scales at 4 775 lbs — 4 302 lbs less than the MasterCraft 245V 2010 at 473 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 245V 2010 is rated for 18 passengers, while the MasterCraft X-35 2013 caps at 16. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the MasterCraft 245V 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MasterCraft 245V 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 18 passengers and at 24,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MasterCraft X-35 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 16 that costs less to run day-to-day.
