Xpress DVX 195 2012 vs Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Xpress DVX 195 2012 is a deep-V design and the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 is a flat-bottom design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 Xpress DVX 195 2012 measures 19,5 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 at 16,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Xpress DVX 195 2012 tips the scales at 1 673 lbs - 1 246 lbs more than the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 at 427 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 115 hp, the Xpress DVX 195 2012 has a 85-hp advantage over the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008's 30-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Xpress DVX 195 2012 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Xpress DVX 195 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Xpress DVX 195 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 19,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Xpress DVX 195 2012 vs Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Xpress DVX 195 2012 or the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008?
The Xpress DVX 195 2012 is the longer of the two at 19,5 feet overall. The Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 comes in at 16,0 feet, making it roughly 3,5 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Xpress DVX 195 2012 or the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008?
For trailering, the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 has the edge at 427 lbs dry weight versus 1 673 lbs for the Xpress DVX 195 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Xpress DVX 195 2012 is rated to a maximum of 115 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 tops out at 30 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Xpress DVX 195 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 is certified for 3. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Xpress DVX 195 2012 measures 102" wide, compared to 75" for the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Xpress DVX 195 2012 and Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Xpress DVX 195 2012 and the Xpress Tunnel - 1650T 2008 are built by Xpress. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
