Matching a modified vee Hurricane Boats FS 193 CC 2009 against a tri-hull Hurricane Boats SD 187 OB 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 — Hurricane Boats FS 193 CC 2009 at 19,0 ft versus Hurricane Boats SD 187 OB 2011 at 18,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Hurricane Boats SD 187 OB 2011 tips the scales at 3 325 lbs — 3 323 lbs less than the Hurricane Boats FS 193 CC 2009 at 2 lbs.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Hurricane Boats SD 187 OB 2011 has a 50-hp advantage over the Hurricane Boats FS 193 CC 2009's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

Bottom line: Choose the Hurricane Boats FS 193 CC 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Hurricane Boats SD 187 OB 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
