Matching a modified vee Sessa Marine Key Largo 24 2012 against a deep vee Sessa Marine Key Largo 27 2013 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sessa Marine Key Largo 24 2012 at 22,5 ft versus Sessa Marine Key Largo 27 2013 at 25,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sessa Marine Key Largo 27 2013 tips the scales at 4 564 lbs — 1 478 lbs less than the Sessa Marine Key Largo 24 2012 at 3 086 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 400 hp, the Sessa Marine Key Largo 27 2013 has a 150-hp advantage over the Sessa Marine Key Largo 24 2012'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 Sessa Marine Key Largo 27 2013 carries 126 gallons versus 71 gallons in the Sessa Marine Key Largo 24 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

The Sessa Marine Key Largo 24 2012 at 22,5 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
