Both the Parker Boats 2100 Center Console 2013 and the Parker Boats 2120 Sport Cabin 2012 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Parker Boats 2100 Center Console 2013 at 21,0 ft versus Parker Boats 2120 Sport Cabin 2012 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Parker Boats 2120 Sport Cabin 2012 tips the scales at 3 250 lbs - 500 lbs less than the Parker Boats 2100 Center Console 2013 at 2 750 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 Parker Boats 2100 Center Console 2013 and 225 hp for the Parker Boats 2120 Sport Cabin 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 - 97 gal and 100 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 6 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.
