Matching a deep vee Rampage 30 Express 2007 against a modified vee Rampage 38 Express 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rampage 38 Express 2009 could be the deciding factor.
