The Nautique 211 2010 is a modified-V design and the Nautique Mapple Icon Edition 200 2012 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 - Nautique 211 2010 at 20,8 ft versus Nautique Mapple Icon Edition 200 2012 at 20,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Nautique 211 2010 tips the scales at 3 500 lbs - 650 lbs more than the Nautique Mapple Icon Edition 200 2012 at 2 850 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 - 343 hp for the Nautique 211 2010 and 343 hp for the Nautique Mapple Icon Edition 200 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Nautique 211 2010 carries 38 gallons versus 29 gallons in the Nautique Mapple Icon Edition 200 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Nautique 211 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Nautique Mapple Icon Edition 200 2012 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Nautique 211 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Nautique 211 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 20,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Nautique Mapple Icon Edition 200 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
