Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Century Boats 2400 Walk Around 2007 vs Century Boats 2600 Center Console 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Century Boats 2400 Walk Around 2007 vs Century Boats 2600 Center Console 2013 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Century Boats 2400 Walk Around 2007 at 24,0 ft versus Century Boats 2600 Center Console 2013 at 26,3 ft. At 48 lbs and 58 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 450 hp, the Century Boats 2600 Center Console 2013 has a 150-hp advantage over the Century Boats 2400 Walk Around 2007'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 2400 Walk Around 2007 carries 14 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Century Boats 2600 Center Console 2013. 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 2600 Center Console 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Century Boats 2400 Walk Around 2007 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 2600 Center Console 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Century Boats 2600 Center Console 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 26,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Century Boats 2400 Walk Around 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
