Hurricane 226: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Hurricane FD226 represents a hybrid approach to deck boat design, blending the handling characteristics of a fiberglass bow rider with the spaciousness and layout typical of pontoon boats. This innovative model, known as the Fun Deck, aims to offer versatility and comfort, making it suitable for both recreational boating and fishing activities.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The FD226 features an open foredeck measuring 6 feet 4 inches by 7 feet 1 inch, providing ample space for passengers or gear. The cockpit is surrounded by fences and rails reminiscent of pontoon boats, enhancing safety and contributing to the boat's roomy feel. A forward gate, 2 feet 1 inch wide, allows easy access to the bow area, where double-wide seats measuring 3 feet 4 inches flank the space, each with storage compartments beneath hinged cushions. The cockpit deck includes a large, fiberglass-lined sole storage locker running the entire length, offering substantial storage capacity, although additional deck hatches would improve accessibility. The aft gate, 1 foot 9 inches wide, features a deck drain that leads directly overboard. Additional exterior features include a 1 1/4 inch stainless steel ski tow rail positioned forward of the engine well, a three-step telescoping reboarding ladder on the starboard side with a deck hatch beneath for battery access, and a pop-up changing room on the port side designed to accommodate an optional portable toilet.

Helm and Seating

The helm console is finished in bright white, with a simple yet attractive layout that includes gauges mounted on a plastic wood-toned panel and space for a GPS fish finder as part of the optional fishing package. The helm seat is plush and comfortable, featuring swivel and slide functions along with flip-up armrests. While the vertical mounting of the Evinrude Icon engine controller could be better positioned to reduce glare and improve ergonomics, the overall helm area offers adequate legroom and a footwell for comfort. Surrounding the helm is an L-shaped seating arrangement with softly padded seats that include storage underneath, centered around a standard pedestal table. Optional snap-in carpeting was installed on the test boat, enhancing comfort and aesthetics.

Power and Performance

Powered by an Evinrude E-Tech 150 outboard engine, the Hurricane FD226 measures 22 feet 2 inches in length overall, with a beam of 7 feet 6 inches and a shallow draft of just 10 inches. The boat's empty weight is approximately 2,300 pounds; during testing, with 30 gallons of fuel and two passengers aboard, the total test weight was 3,318 pounds. The FD226 achieved a top speed of 43.6 miles per hour at 5,600 RPM, consuming fuel at a rate of 15.2 gallons per hour, which translates to a range of approximately 157 miles. The most efficient cruising speed was found at 3,000 RPM, reaching 20.6 miles per hour with a fuel burn of only 4.2 gallons per hour, allowing for over 13 hours of operation and a range of 269 miles. The hull design facilitates rapid planing, reaching plane in just 2.6 seconds with minimal bow rise, accelerating to 20 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds. In choppy conditions with 20-mile-per-hour gusts, the boat handled well, though the flat hull tended to throw water to the sides, which could be blown back into the cockpit in beam seas. While the ride was somewhat bumpy at high speeds in rough water, cruising remained comfortable, and the FD226 is best suited for calm, protected waters. Its responsive handling and spacious layout make it an excellent platform for water sports and entertaining.

Conclusion

The Hurricane FD226 successfully merges the spaciousness of pontoon boats with the agile handling of fiberglass bow riders, creating a versatile and comfortable vessel. Its thoughtful design offers generous storage, flexible seating arrangements, and a well-appointed helm area. Powered by a reliable Evinrude E-Tech 150, it delivers strong performance with efficient fuel consumption. While best enjoyed in calm waters, the FD226 is well-suited for a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, water sports, and social outings, making it a compelling choice for boaters seeking both functionality and comfort.
