When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2011 and the Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2011 at 20,1 ft versus Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 tips the scales at 2 075 lbs — 1 899 lbs less than the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2011 at 176 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 has a 25-hp advantage over the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2011's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumaweld Intruder Inboard 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
