Matching a modified vee Alumaweld Formula Vee Outboard 2010 against a deep vee Alumaweld Sport Skiff 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Alumaweld Formula Vee Outboard 2010 measures 22,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 6,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Alumaweld Sport Skiff 2013 at 16,2 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Alumaweld Formula Vee Outboard 2010 tips the scales at 226 lbs — 152 lbs more than the Alumaweld Sport Skiff 2013 at 74 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Alumaweld Formula Vee Outboard 2010 has a 185-hp advantage over the Alumaweld Sport Skiff 2013's 40-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumaweld Formula Vee Outboard 2010 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Alumaweld Sport Skiff 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumaweld Formula Vee Outboard 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Alumaweld Formula Vee Outboard 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 22,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumaweld Sport Skiff 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
