Banshee vs Crit D2: the short version
- The Banshee and Crit D2 are close in length (13.0 ft3.96 m vs 12.8 ft3.90 m ).
- The Banshee is heavier, displacing about 174% more, which usually means a steadier but slower-to-accelerate hull.
- By the capsize screening formula the Crit D2 rates better for offshore work (2.57 vs 4.05).
Ratios are guidelines computed from published specs; condition, layout and gear matter as much as the numbers.
