Matching a modified vee Xpress Team X19 2013 against a tunnel Xpress Tunnel Jon 2009 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Xpress Team X19 2013 at 19,0 ft versus Xpress Tunnel Jon 2009 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Xpress Tunnel Jon 2009 tips the scales at 427 lbs — 288 lbs less than the Xpress Team X19 2013 at 139 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 Xpress Tunnel Jon 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
