Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
VIP Bay Stealth 2460 BSVL O/B Liner 2007 vs VIP Deckliner 222 2008 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the VIP Bay Stealth 2460 BSVL O/B Liner 2007 and the VIP Deckliner 222 2008 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The VIP Bay Stealth 2460 BSVL O/B Liner 2007 carries a rated maximum of 200 hp. Engine data for the VIP Deckliner 222 2008 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the VIP Bay Stealth 2460 BSVL O/B Liner 2007 carries 75 gallons versus 55 gallons in the VIP Deckliner 222 2008. 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 VIP Deckliner 222 2008 is rated for 10 passengers, while the VIP Bay Stealth 2460 BSVL O/B Liner 2007 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the VIP Deckliner 222 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the VIP Deckliner 222 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The VIP Bay Stealth 2460 BSVL O/B Liner 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
