Yes the 209 was faster but if the 209 is more of the same as a 2100 that would be correct I guess. Hell I dont really know!! The 209 would run about 83 GPS with a stock 2002 225HO Evenrude with a 12'' setback @ WOT and the 2000 with 225XS runs about 80 GPS @ WOT with 6'' setback. Also the 209 was a Earnhardt boat maybe full kevlar?? But to be honest I think the size of the 209 was closer to a 2100.My 209 was also single console and my 2000 is doul console. I really wish I had not tried to help because after reading what I wrote I have confused myself!!
