Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 vs Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 and the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — 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 — Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 at 22,3 ft versus Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 at 21,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 tips the scales at 3 375 lbs — 3 140 lbs less than the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 at 235 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 200 hp, the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 has a 50-hp advantage over the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 21,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 vs Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 or the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013?
The Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 is the longer of the two at 22,3 feet overall. The Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 comes in at 21,3 feet, making it roughly 0,9 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 or the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013?
For trailering, the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 has the edge at 235 lbs dry weight versus 3 375 lbs for the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 is rated to a maximum of 200 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 tops out at 150 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 13 passengers, while the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 is certified for 14. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 measures 102" wide, compared to 98" for the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 and Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2012 and the Fun Chaser FGP 2100 Cruiser 2013 are built by Fun Chaser. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
