Matching a deep vee Sea Ray 240 Sundeck Outboard 2013 against a modified vee Sea Ray 300 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 300 Select EX 2010 measures 29,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 5,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sea Ray 240 Sundeck Outboard 2013 at 23,8 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Ray 240 Sundeck Outboard 2013 tips the scales at 4 011 lbs — 3 934 lbs more than the Sea Ray 300 Select EX 2010 at 77 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 300 hp for the Sea Ray 240 Sundeck Outboard 2013 and 300 hp for the Sea Ray 300 Select EX 2010. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Ray 240 Sundeck Outboard 2013 carries 55 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Sea Ray 300 Select EX 2010. 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 240 Sundeck Outboard 2013 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Sea Ray 300 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 240 Sundeck Outboard 2013 could be the deciding factor.
