Matching a modified vee Hurricane Boats FS 213 CC 2009 against a tri-hull Hurricane Boats SD 187 I/O 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 213 CC 2009 at 21,0 ft versus Hurricane Boats SD 187 I/O 2011 at 18,8 ft.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 250 hp for the Hurricane Boats FS 213 CC 2009 and 270 hp for the Hurricane Boats SD 187 I/O 2011. 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.
