Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Xpress Xclusive Catfish X24 2010 measures 24,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Xpress SVX - SVX19 2007 at 19,0 feet (2007).

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 Xclusive Catfish X24 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Xpress SVX - SVX19 2007's 200-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 SVX - SVX19 2007 carries 24 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Xpress Xclusive Catfish X24 2010.
