Matching a modified vee Century Boats 2001 Center Console 2010 against a deep vee Century Boats 2200 Center Console 2008 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 — Century Boats 2001 Center Console 2010 at 20,2 ft versus Century Boats 2200 Center Console 2008 at 22,0 ft. At 23 lbs and 35 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Century Boats 2200 Center Console 2008 has a 75-hp advantage over the Century Boats 2001 Center 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 2200 Center Console 2008 carries 11 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Century Boats 2001 Center Console 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
