Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser SC 2005 vs Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser SC 2005 vs Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 measures 26,5 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser SC 2005 at 23,0 feet (2005). At 42 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 Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 tops out at 375 hp. Engine specs for the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser SC 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser SC 2005 carries 68 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC 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 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 at 26,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Ebbtide 2400 Fun Cruiser SC 2005 at 23,0 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.
