Matching a deep vee Sea Ray 220 Sundeck® Outboard 2013 against a modified vee Sea Ray 250 Select EX 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sea Ray 250 Select EX 2010 measures 26,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sea Ray 220 Sundeck® Outboard 2013 at 22,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Ray 250 Select EX 2010 tips the scales at 5 392 lbs — 5 013 lbs less than the Sea Ray 220 Sundeck® Outboard 2013 at 379 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 375 hp, the Sea Ray 250 Select EX 2010 has a 125-hp advantage over the Sea Ray 220 Sundeck® Outboard 2013's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Ray 250 Select EX 2010 carries 75 gallons versus 45 gallons in the Sea Ray 220 Sundeck® Outboard 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Ray 220 Sundeck® Outboard 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Sea Ray 250 Select EX 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Ray 220 Sundeck® Outboard 2013 could be the deciding factor.
