When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Century Boats 2200 Center Console 2013 and the Century Boats 2201 Inshore 2013 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Century Boats 2200 Center Console 2013 at 22,0 ft versus Century Boats 2201 Inshore 2013 at 21,5 ft. At 35 lbs and 18 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 2200 Center Console 2013 has a 25-hp advantage over the Century Boats 2201 Inshore 2013's 225-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 2013 carries 11 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Century Boats 2201 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.
