Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ebbtide 2440 Z-Track SS Cuddy Cabin 2011 vs Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Ebbtide 2440 Z-Track SS Cuddy Cabin 2011 against a deep vee Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2013 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 2440 Z-Track SS Cuddy Cabin 2011 at 23,2 ft versus Ebbtide 2460 Z-Trak SS SC FC 2013 at 24,5 ft. At 465 lbs and 475 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.

Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 7 gal and 7 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two.
