Matching a deep vee Cobia Boats 220 Dual Console 2012 against a modified vee Cobia Boats 237CC 2011 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Cobia Boats 220 Dual Console 2012 at 21,6 ft versus Cobia Boats 237CC 2011 at 23,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Cobia Boats 220 Dual Console 2012 tips the scales at 295 lbs — 259 lbs more than the Cobia Boats 237CC 2011 at 36 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 300 hp, the Cobia Boats 237CC 2011 has a 100-hp advantage over the Cobia Boats 220 Dual Console 2012's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Cobia Boats 237CC 2011 carries 129 gallons versus 9 gallons in the Cobia Boats 220 Dual Console 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 8 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 Cobia Boats 237CC 2011 and its 300-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Cobia Boats 220 Dual Console 2012 with its 200-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
