Matching a modified vee Xpress HD22CCF 2011 against a tunnel Xpress Xplorer Bass - Jet CC Series (XP18CC Jet) 2013 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here.
