The Rampage 30 Express 2007 is a deep-V design and the Rampage 41 Express 2011 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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. The Rampage 41 Express 2011 measures 41,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 13,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Rampage 30 Express 2007 at 28,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Rampage 41 Express 2011 tips the scales at 30 000 lbs - 18 000 lbs less than the Rampage 30 Express 2007 at 12 000 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Rampage 41 Express 2011 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Rampage 30 Express 2007 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rampage 41 Express 2011 could be the deciding factor.
