ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 vs ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 — A Close Look at Two Catamarans

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 and the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 are catamaran designs with fiberglass 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 at 26,0 ft versus ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 at 27,0 ft. At 455 lbs and 445 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 500 hp, the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 has a 100-hp advantage over the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008's 400-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 carries 252 gallons versus 16 gallons in the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 8 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.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 and its 500-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 with its 400-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 vs ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 or the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007?
The ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 is the longer of the two at 27,0 feet overall. The ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 comes in at 26,0 feet, making it roughly 1,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 or the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007?
For trailering, the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 has the edge at 445 lbs dry weight versus 455 lbs for the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 is rated to a maximum of 500 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 tops out at 400 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 is certified for 8. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 and ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 share an 9 ft. 2 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 or the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007?
The ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 has the bigger tank at 252 gallons, versus 16 gallons on the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008. That 236-gallon difference translates to roughly 708–1180 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 and ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the ProKat 2560 DCF 2008 and the ProKat 2660 Center Console 2007 are built by ProKat. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
