Hurricane 201: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Hurricane 201 Sundeck Sport is a versatile 20-foot family boat designed for both recreational cruising and water sports. Powered in this test by an Evinrude E-Tech 135HO outboard engine, the boat combines stable hull design with efficient performance, making it suitable for a variety of on-water activities.

Hull Design and Performance

The hull features a wide beam of 102 inches with a V-bottom that extends outward, providing additional flotation and a stable platform. At the stern, a flat running pad leads to dual strakes on either side, which contribute to quick planing times and minimal bow rise. The boat has a relatively low freeboard of 32 inches and a flat entry, yet it handles light chop well, delivering a dry and comfortable ride with minimal pounding. During testing, the Hurricane 201 reached a top speed of 41.4 miles per hour at 5,700 RPM while burning 13.5 gallons per hour of fuel. The most efficient cruising speed was 22.7 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, which reduced fuel consumption to 5.6 gallons per hour and provided a range of approximately 190 miles with over 7.5 hours of endurance, maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. At slow speeds around 5 miles per hour, fuel burn dropped to just 0.5 gallons per hour. The boat planes quickly and achieves an optimal 5-degree running attitude with a few trims of the outboard. Although rated for engines up to 200 horsepower, the 135HO engine proved sufficient for family use and water sports such as skiing and tubing, while producing a minimal wake that is less suited for wakeboarding.

Exterior Features and Deck Layout

The Hurricane 201 Sundeck Sport offers thoughtful exterior features aimed at convenience and comfort. A standout is the innovative bimini top stabilized by a single curved metal tube, providing a notably solid and secure shade structure. The transom center houses a removable ski tow pylon, ideal for towing water sport equipment. Storage compartments are located on the port side of the stern, while the starboard side features a recessed three-step reboarding ladder for easy water access. Seating is arranged in a wraparound configuration with L-shaped seating on the port side and two loungers at the bow. The bow cushions are versatile, allowing conversion into chaise lounges with adjustable positions for comfort. Storage is abundant beneath all seating areas, under the deck, and within the helm console, which also contains a carry-on cooler. The cockpit is equipped with multiple courtesy lights and three speakers, enhancing the onboard experience. Additional practical elements include a live well at the step-through to the bow, four stainless steel drink holders, an anchor locker with an anchor keeper and cleat, a three-step beach reboarding ladder with an integrated handle, and well-positioned navigation lights and cleats that avoid trip hazards.

Helm and Controls

The helm station is designed with a minimalist approach, featuring two primary gauges and lighted switches that illuminate when activated. The steering wheel is mounted on a tilt base for ergonomic adjustment. Additional switches and oven-hood alarm gauges are located to the starboard side, alongside a 12-volt power supply. Beneath the helm is a recessed footwell with storage above it. Just forward of the helm, a sink with a pump faucet adds convenience for onboard tasks.

Conclusion

The Hurricane 201 Sundeck Sport presents a well-rounded package for boaters seeking a stable, efficient, and comfortable vessel for family outings and water sports. Its hull design ensures a smooth ride even in light chop, while the powertrain offers a good balance of speed and fuel economy. Practical features such as the stabilized bimini top, versatile seating, ample storage, and thoughtful deck layout enhance usability and enjoyment. Overall, this boat is a capable and enjoyable platform for a variety of recreational boating activities.
