Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 vs Rampage 33 Express 2008 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 and the Rampage 33 Express 2008 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 at 33,0 ft versus Rampage 33 Express 2008 at 33,0 ft. At 172 lbs and 172 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.

Both boats are rated for 10 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 Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 and Rampage 33 Express 2008 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.

Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 vs Rampage 33 Express 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 or the Rampage 33 Express 2008?
The Rampage 33 Express 2008 is the longer of the two at 33,0 feet overall. The Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 comes in at 33,0 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 or the Rampage 33 Express 2008?
For trailering, the Rampage 33 Express 2008 has the edge at 172 lbs dry weight versus 172 lbs for the Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows.

How many people can each boat hold?
The Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Rampage 33 Express 2008 is certified for 10. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 and Rampage 33 Express 2008 share an 13 ft beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 or the Rampage 33 Express 2008?
The Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 has the bigger tank at 428 gallons, versus 367 gallons on the Rampage 33 Express 2008. That 61-gallon difference translates to roughly 183–305 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 and Rampage 33 Express 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Rampage 33 Barta C.E. 2007 and the Rampage 33 Express 2008 are built by Rampage. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
