Both the Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2010 and the Century Boats 2400 Inshore 2008 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 2350 Dual Console 2010 at 23,0 ft versus Century Boats 2400 Inshore 2008 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2010 tips the scales at 4 150 lbs - 1 650 lbs more than the Century Boats 2400 Inshore 2008 at 2 500 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 300 hp for the Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2010 and 300 hp for the Century Boats 2400 Inshore 2008. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Century Boats 2350 Dual Console 2010 carries 140 gallons versus 77 gallons in the Century Boats 2400 Inshore 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 7 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.
