Matching a deep vee Blazer Boats 2170 2008 against a modified vee Blazer Boats 2400 2008 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 — Blazer Boats 2170 2008 at 21,0 ft versus Blazer Boats 2400 2008 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Blazer Boats 2170 2008 tips the scales at 145 lbs — 127 lbs more than the Blazer Boats 2400 2008 at 18 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 Blazer Boats 2400 2008 has a 110-hp advantage over the Blazer Boats 2170 2008's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 8 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 8 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Blazer Boats 2400 2008 and its 225-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Blazer Boats 2170 2008 with its 115-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
