Matching a deep vee Striper 2901 Walkaround O/B 2013 against a modified vee Striper 3301 Walk Around O/B (Dual Engine) 2009 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 Striper 3301 Walk Around O/B (Dual Engine) 2009 measures 33,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Striper 2901 Walkaround O/B 2013 at 29,7 feet (2013).

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 — 600 hp for the Striper 2901 Walkaround O/B 2013 and 600 hp for the Striper 3301 Walk Around O/B (Dual Engine) 2009. 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.

The Striper 3301 Walk Around O/B (Dual Engine) 2009 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Striper 2901 Walkaround O/B 2013 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Striper 3301 Walk Around O/B (Dual Engine) 2009 could be the deciding factor.
