The Century Boats 1850 Dual Console 2010 is a modified-V design and the Century Boats 3200 Center Console 2013 is a deep-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 Century Boats 3200 Center Console 2013 measures 32,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 14,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Century Boats 1850 Dual Console 2010 at 17,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Century Boats 3200 Center Console 2013 tips the scales at 8 500 lbs - 6 600 lbs less than the Century Boats 1850 Dual Console 2010 at 1 900 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 700 hp, the Century Boats 3200 Center Console 2013 has a 550-hp advantage over the Century Boats 1850 Dual Console 2010's 150-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Century Boats 3200 Center Console 2013 carries 300 gallons versus 47 gallons in the Century Boats 1850 Dual Console 2010. 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 Century Boats 3200 Center Console 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Century Boats 1850 Dual Console 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Century Boats 3200 Center Console 2013 could be the deciding factor.
