Matching a modified vee Hewescraft 200 SM PV 2009 against a deep vee Hewescraft ProV 2013 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Hewescraft ProV 2013 measures 20,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 18,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Hewescraft 200 SM PV 2009 at 2,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Hewescraft 200 SM PV 2009 tips the scales at 155 lbs — 138 lbs more than the Hewescraft ProV 2013 at 17 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 175 hp for the Hewescraft 200 SM PV 2009 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 SM PV 2009 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 SM PV 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Hewescraft 200 SM PV 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 2,0 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.
