The Advantage 22 Citation 2009 vs Advantage Poker Run 40 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Advantage 22 Citation 2009 measures 22,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 18,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Advantage Poker Run 40 2006 at 4,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Advantage 22 Citation 2009 tips the scales at 3 928 lbs — 3 843 lbs more than the Advantage Poker Run 40 2006 at 85 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
Both boats are rated for 10 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Advantage 22 Citation 2009 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Advantage Poker Run 40 2006 at 4,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
