The Xpress DVX175 2010 is a deep-V design and the Xpress H22 2011 is a modified-V 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 H22 2011 measures 22,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Xpress DVX175 2010 at 17,5 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Xpress H22 2011 tips the scales at 1 795 lbs - 580 lbs less than the Xpress DVX175 2010 at 1 215 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 250 hp, the Xpress H22 2011 has a 135-hp advantage over the Xpress DVX175 2010's 115-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 30 gal and 30 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Xpress H22 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Xpress DVX175 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Xpress H22 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Xpress H22 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Xpress DVX175 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
