Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2009 vs Century Boats 2901 Center Console 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2009 against a deep vee Century Boats 2901 Center Console 2010 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Century Boats 2901 Center Console 2010 measures 29,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 6,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2009 at 23,0 feet (2009). At 42 lbs and 7 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 600 hp, the Century Boats 2901 Center Console 2010 has a 300-hp advantage over the Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2009's 300-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 2350 Dual Console 2009 carries 14 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Century Boats 2901 Center 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 2901 Center Console 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2009 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Century Boats 2901 Center Console 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Century Boats 2901 Center Console 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 29,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
