Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 vs Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 vs Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 at 23,0 ft versus Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 at 24,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 tips the scales at 475 lbs — 433 lbs less than the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 at 42 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 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 carries a rated maximum of 320 hp. Engine data for the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 carries 68 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 14 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 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 and Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.

Which is easier to trailer — the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 or the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009?
For trailering, the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 has the edge at 42 lbs dry weight versus 475 lbs for the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009.

The Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 has a documented max rating of 320 hp. Engine specifications for the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 14 passengers, while the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 is certified for 14. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 and Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 share an 8 ft. 6 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 or the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009?
The Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 has the bigger tank at 68 gallons, versus 7 gallons on the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009. That 61-gallon difference translates to roughly 183–305 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Yes — both the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser DC 2007 and the Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2009 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.
