The Pro-Line 23 cc 2011 is a modified-V design and the Pro-Line 35 Super Sport 2011 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Pro-Line 35 Super Sport 2011 measures 33,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 10,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Pro-Line 23 cc 2011 at 23,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pro-Line 35 Super Sport 2011 tips the scales at 8 000 lbs - 4 800 lbs less than the Pro-Line 23 cc 2011 at 3 200 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 900 hp, the Pro-Line 35 Super Sport 2011 has a 700-hp advantage over the Pro-Line 23 cc 2011'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 Pro-Line 35 Super Sport 2011 carries 305 gallons versus 70 gallons in the Pro-Line 23 cc 2011. 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 Pro-Line 35 Super Sport 2011 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Pro-Line 23 cc 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Pro-Line 35 Super Sport 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Pro-Line 35 Super Sport 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 33,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Pro-Line 23 cc 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
