Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ebbtide 2400 SS FC O/B 2010 vs Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Ebbtide 2400 SS FC O/B 2010 against a deep vee Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Ebbtide 2400 SS FC O/B 2010 at 23,6 ft versus Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 at 26,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Ebbtide 2400 SS FC O/B 2010 tips the scales at 385 lbs — 333 lbs more than the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 375 hp, the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 has a 125-hp advantage over the Ebbtide 2400 SS FC O/B 2010's 250-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 2400 SS FC O/B 2010 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Ebbtide 2400 SS FC O/B 2010 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 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Ebbtide 2660 Z-Trak SS DC FC 2009 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 2400 SS FC O/B 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
