Matching a deep vee Xpress DVX 165 2013 against a modified vee Xpress X19 2011 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 — Xpress DVX 165 2013 at 16,5 ft versus Xpress X19 2011 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Xpress DVX 165 2013 tips the scales at 923 lbs — 784 lbs more than the Xpress X19 2011 at 139 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 200 hp, the Xpress X19 2011 has a 110-hp advantage over the Xpress DVX 165 2013's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Xpress DVX 165 2013 carries 18 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Xpress X19 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 4 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Xpress X19 2011 at 19,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Xpress DVX 165 2013 at 16,5 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.
