Matching a deep vee Striper 2101 Dual Console 2012 against a modified vee Striper 22 Bay Boat 2009 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 250 hp for the Striper 2101 Dual Console 2012 and 250 hp for the Striper 22 Bay Boat 2009. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Striper 2101 Dual Console 2012 carries 105 gallons versus 54 gallons in the Striper 22 Bay Boat 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.
