The Century Boats 2001 Center Console 2008 vs Century Boats 2200 Walk Around 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Century Boats 2200 Walk Around 2006 measures 22,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Century Boats 2001 Center Console 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Century Boats 2200 Walk Around 2006 tips the scales at 385 lbs — 362 lbs less than the Century Boats 2001 Center Console 2008 at 23 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 225 hp, the Century Boats 2200 Walk Around 2006 has a 75-hp advantage over the Century Boats 2001 Center Console 2008'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 2001 Center Console 2008 carries 6 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Century Boats 2200 Walk Around 2006. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Bottom line: The Century Boats 2200 Walk Around 2006 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Century Boats 2001 Center Console 2008 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
