Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tidewater Boats 1910 Bay Max 2021 vs Tidewater Boats 228WA Excursion 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Tidewater Boats 1910 Bay Max 2021 vs Tidewater Boats 228WA Excursion 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Tidewater Boats 228WA Excursion 2011 has a 135-hp advantage over the Tidewater Boats 1910 Bay Max 2021's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tidewater Boats 1910 Bay Max 2021 carries 56 gallons versus 9 gallons in the Tidewater Boats 228WA Excursion 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Tidewater Boats 1910 Bay Max 2021 is rated for up to 5 people. Passenger data for the Tidewater Boats 228WA Excursion 2011 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Tidewater Boats 228WA Excursion 2011 at 21,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Tidewater Boats 1910 Bay Max 2021 at 19,0 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.
