Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Century Boats 2900 Express 2013 vs Century Boats 3200CC 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Century Boats 2900 Express 2013 vs Century Boats 3200CC 2007 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 2900 Express 2013 at 30,5 ft versus Century Boats 3200CC 2007 at 32,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Century Boats 2900 Express 2013 tips the scales at 10 422 lbs — 10 337 lbs more than the Century Boats 3200CC 2007 at 85 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 700 hp, the Century Boats 2900 Express 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the Century Boats 3200CC 2007's 600-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 2900 Express 2013 carries 225 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Century Boats 3200CC 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 9 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Century Boats 2900 Express 2013 and its 700-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Century Boats 3200CC 2007 with its 600-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
