The Century Boats 2001 Inshore 2013 vs Century Boats 2202 Bay 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 2202 Bay 2006 measures 22,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Century Boats 2001 Inshore 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). At 16 lbs and 21 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 250 hp, the Century Boats 2202 Bay 2006 has a 75-hp advantage over the Century Boats 2001 Inshore 2013's 175-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 2202 Bay 2006 carries 65 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Century Boats 2001 Inshore 2013. 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.
Bottom line: The Century Boats 2202 Bay 2006 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Century Boats 2001 Inshore 2013 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.
