Matching a tri-hull Hurricane Boats SS 201 OB 2012 against a modified vee Hurricane Boats SS 220 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Hurricane Boats SS 201 OB 2012 at 20,1 ft versus Hurricane Boats SS 220 OB 2010 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Hurricane Boats SS 220 OB 2010 tips the scales at 4 485 lbs — 4 148 lbs less than the Hurricane Boats SS 201 OB 2012 at 337 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Hurricane Boats SS 220 OB 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Hurricane Boats SS 201 OB 2012's 200-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 SS 201 OB 2012 carries 52 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Hurricane Boats SS 220 OB 2010. 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.
