When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the ProGator 210Xtreme 2010 and the ProGator Lil' Gator 2 2011 are modified vee designs with composite construction — 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The ProGator 210Xtreme 2010 measures 21,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 6,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the ProGator Lil' Gator 2 2011 at 14,8 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the ProGator Lil' Gator 2 2011 tips the scales at 275 lbs — 120 lbs less than the ProGator 210Xtreme 2010 at 155 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 ProGator Lil' Gator 2 2011 tops out at 30 hp. Engine specs for the ProGator 210Xtreme 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The ProGator 210Xtreme 2010 is rated for 5 passengers, while the ProGator Lil' Gator 2 2011 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the ProGator 210Xtreme 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the ProGator 210Xtreme 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The ProGator Lil' Gator 2 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
