Both the Hewescraft 200 PV 2012 and the Hewescraft ProV 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in aluminium, 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 - Hewescraft 200 PV 2012 at 20,3 ft versus Hewescraft ProV 2013 at 20,3 ft. At 1 700 lbs and 1 700 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 175 hp for the Hewescraft 200 PV 2012 and 175 hp for the Hewescraft ProV 2013. 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Hewescraft 200 PV 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Hewescraft ProV 2013 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Hewescraft 200 PV 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Hewescraft 200 PV 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 20,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Hewescraft ProV 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
