To update, if you haven't heard already, Nautic Global Group was purchased by Bennington. This is a good thing since the group is now owned by "boat people", not an investment firm. Hurricane owns at least 50% of the deckboat market.
The SD 237 has been in the Hurricane line up for about 10 years and was discontinued in 2013. This is probably more to Hurricane starting to trend to produce hulls with a higher deadrise so it performs better in choppier waters. In most instances, the "3 digit" model Hurricanes have a 12.5 degree deadrise, the "4 digit" models have a 16 degree deadrise. Depending on the type of water you plan on boating, both boats perform very well on all inland waterways. The length and weight of the SD 237 does help the ride in moderate chop and has a better ride than you might think. If you are planning to go out in salt water, the SD 2200 will probably perform better for you. Bear in mind that the Hurricane has a "Category 5" hull design. By definition that means not travelling beyond .75 nautical miles from shore in open seas. They are designed for inland waterways and protected bays.
Most Hurricane owners are very satisfied with their boats. I and my family love our SD 237 (I for one was sorry it was discontinued as I still l prefer the deck layout of this model over others). My boat is in it's 4th season, had practically no issues, and I've been very happy with it to the level of being confident in recommending it to others.
