Both the Xpress H20 2013 and the Xpress H20CC-SS 2011 are modified-V designs, both built in aluminium, so 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Xpress H20 2013 at 20,3 ft versus Xpress H20CC-SS 2011 at 20,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Xpress H20 2013 tips the scales at 1 470 lbs - 209 lbs more than the Xpress H20CC-SS 2011 at 1 261 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 115 hp for the Xpress H20 2013 and 115 hp for the Xpress H20CC-SS 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Xpress H20 2013 carries 30 gallons versus 18 gallons in the Xpress H20CC-SS 2011. 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 Xpress H20CC-SS 2011 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Xpress H20 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Xpress H20CC-SS 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Xpress H20CC-SS 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 20,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Xpress H20 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
