Matching a pontoon Hurricane Boats FD 216 RE OB 2009 against a modified vee Hurricane Boats SS 202 OB 2010 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 Hurricane Boats SS 202 OB 2010 measures 20,1 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 18,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Hurricane Boats FD 216 RE OB 2009 at 2,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Hurricane Boats FD 216 RE OB 2009 tips the scales at 4 004 lbs — 3 655 lbs more than the Hurricane Boats SS 202 OB 2010 at 349 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 — 200 hp for the Hurricane Boats FD 216 RE OB 2009 and 200 hp for the Hurricane Boats SS 202 OB 2010. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Hurricane Boats SS 202 OB 2010 carries 52 gallons versus 48 gallons in the Hurricane Boats FD 216 RE OB 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 1 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.
