Matching a deep vee Nautic Star 190 RG 2011 against a modified vee Nautic Star 210 Coastal 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 — Nautic Star 190 RG 2011 at 18,7 ft versus Nautic Star 210 Coastal 2011 at 20,4 ft.

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.

Rated to 150 hp, the Nautic Star 210 Coastal 2011 has a 35-hp advantage over the Nautic Star 190 RG 2011's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 35 gal and 35 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

The Nautic Star 190 RG 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
