Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2009 vs Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2009 against a deep vee Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2010 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 Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2010 measures 26,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 5,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2009 at 21,0 feet (2009). At 35 lbs and 52 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 420 hp, the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2010 has a 200-hp advantage over the Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2009's 220-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2009 carries 45 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2010. 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 2010 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2009 caps at 12. 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 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2010 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 2200 SS SC FC 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
