2020 Hurricane Sundeck 2000 — Should You Buy One?

Typical asking price: $24,000–$36,000. There is 1 high-severity known issue you need to know before handing over a check.

Kestrel Take

Hurricane builds clean, quality deck boats that work well for families — good layout, solid construction, and Mercury or Yamaha power. The deck boat format gives you pontoon-like seating with better rough-water handling. Standard fiberglass and outboard maintenance applies.

What we checked

No public record to reconcile against

We don't yet have a public record to check this one against. Boats and personal watercraft are not in NHTSA’s database — that is the Coast Guard, which publishes recalls but no owner-complaint record. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
