Matching a deep vee Pro-Line 26 Super Sport 2011 against a modified vee Pro-Line 29 Express 2010 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 — Pro-Line 26 Super Sport 2011 at 26,3 ft versus Pro-Line 29 Express 2010 at 29,3 ft. At 44 lbs and 75 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 600 hp, the Pro-Line 29 Express 2010 has a 150-hp advantage over the Pro-Line 26 Super Sport 2011's 450-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Pro-Line 26 Super Sport 2011 carries 156 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Pro-Line 29 Express 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 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 Pro-Line 29 Express 2010 at 29,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Pro-Line 26 Super Sport 2011 at 26,3 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.
