Matching a deep vee Crestliner 2200 Bay 2013 against a modified vee Crestliner C 2070 V 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Crestliner 2200 Bay 2013 measures 22,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 20,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crestliner C 2070 V 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crestliner 2200 Bay 2013 tips the scales at 2 087 lbs — 1 953 lbs more than the Crestliner C 2070 V 2008 at 134 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 200 hp, the Crestliner 2200 Bay 2013 has a 140-hp advantage over the Crestliner C 2070 V 2008's 60-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 Crestliner 2200 Bay 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Crestliner C 2070 V 2008 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crestliner 2200 Bay 2013 could be the deciding factor.
