Matching a modified vee Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2013 against a deep vee Ebbtide 2700 SS Cuddy Bow Rider 2011 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 2700 SS Cuddy Bow Rider 2011 measures 26,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2013 at 21,0 feet (2013). 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 430 hp, the Ebbtide 2700 SS Cuddy Bow Rider 2011 has a 130-hp advantage over the Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2013's 300-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 2013 carries 45 gallons versus 11 gallons in the Ebbtide 2700 SS Cuddy Bow Rider 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 12 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: The Ebbtide 2700 SS Cuddy Bow Rider 2011 at 26,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Ebbtide 2200 SS SC FC 2013 at 21,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
