So I'm very close to pulling the trigger on a 06 2360 one owner F250 700hrs. Not scoped yet. $35k. I just cam across a 04 236 with F225 300 hrs. Exhaust fix done. $40k. The 04 has the deluxe console like the 2360. Is there any other big difference's between them? Like I know the batteries are aft 236 under console 2360.

Totally different hull and cap. The 2360 was a new design and still in production today. Which isnt to suggest the 236 is a bad hull, by all accounts a great riding boat.

The 04 with the F225 has a new blueprinted 4 blade prop. The 06 with the F250 has a 3 blade. How much difference is there between them? Thanks

I would say the 06 2360 with the 250 is a much better choice.

I would say look at both boats, go for a ride in both, see how each boat is maintained, as well as which boat is better equipped. Then base your decision on which is a better value. They are both good boats.

I owned an 04 236. Just sold in April. Awesome hull, great ride. Had a 250 HPDI on it. I think you’re better off with the 2360 with a 250. I think anything less than a 250 hp on the 236 is under powered. Cheaper to upgrade electronics than repower. Good luck in your search and let us know what you decide on.

Go with the F-250. Not only is it more power but if the motor is also an 06 it should be able to be hooked up to your electronics for engine info and fuel burn numbers. Rag’s

The 04 with the F225 has a new blueprinted 4 blade prop. The 06 with the F250 has a 3 blade. How much difference is there between them? Thanks On my boat, 2360 I switched to a 4 blade power tech prop and it made a big difference in maintaining rpms while cruising. The 3 blade would struggle to get the boat back up on plane after a swell or a wave took me off plane. I cannot speak about the 236 I have never owned one. Like other posters have said look, sea-trial and go with what you are most comfortable with. I don't think you will be disappointed either way. Good Luck!!! Enjoy the ride!! sol...
