Matching a modified vee Hurricane Boats SD 2000 OB 2009 against a tri-hull Hurricane Boats SS 211 OB 2012 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 211 OB 2012 measures 20,8 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 18,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Hurricane Boats SD 2000 OB 2009 at 2,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Hurricane Boats SD 2000 OB 2009 tips the scales at 4 232 lbs — 453 lbs more than the Hurricane Boats SS 211 OB 2012 at 3 779 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 — 225 hp for the Hurricane Boats SD 2000 OB 2009 and 225 hp for the Hurricane Boats SS 211 OB 2012. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 51 gal and 52 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Hurricane Boats SD 2000 OB 2009 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Hurricane Boats SS 211 OB 2012 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Hurricane Boats SD 2000 OB 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Hurricane Boats SD 2000 OB 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Hurricane Boats SS 211 OB 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
