The Striper 1905 Center Console 2012 is a deep-V design and the Striper 2101 Dual Console 2010 is a modified-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 - Striper 1905 Center Console 2012 at 18,5 ft versus Striper 2101 Dual Console 2010 at 21,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Striper 2101 Dual Console 2010 tips the scales at 3 280 lbs - 1 460 lbs less than the Striper 1905 Center Console 2012 at 1 820 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 250 hp, the Striper 2101 Dual Console 2010 has a 100-hp advantage over the Striper 1905 Center Console 2012's 150-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Striper 2101 Dual Console 2010 carries 105 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Striper 1905 Center Console 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 Striper 2101 Dual Console 2010 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Striper 1905 Center Console 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Striper 2101 Dual Console 2010 could be the deciding factor.
