Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Hurricane Boats SD 2690 OB 2013 vs Hurricane Boats SunDeck 187 I/O 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Hurricane Boats SD 2690 OB 2013 vs Hurricane Boats SunDeck 187 I/O 2004 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 350 hp, the Hurricane Boats SD 2690 OB 2013 has a 80-hp advantage over the Hurricane Boats SunDeck 187 I/O 2004's 270-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Hurricane Boats SD 2690 OB 2013 carries 96 gallons versus 52 gallons in the Hurricane Boats SunDeck 187 I/O 2004. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Bottom line: Choose the Hurricane Boats SunDeck 187 I/O 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Hurricane Boats SD 2690 OB 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
