Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 vs Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 vs Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 measures 26,5 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 24,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 tips the scales at 3 475 lbs — 3 423 lbs more than the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 at 52 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 Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 tops out at 425 hp. Engine specs for the Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 carries 45 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 26,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Yes — both the Ebbtide 2100 Bow Rider w/ Liner 2005 and the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2012 are built by Ebbtide. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
