When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 and the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2013 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 Outboard 22 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2013 at 20,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008 tips the scales at 2 075 lbs — 2 063 lbs more than the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2013 at 12 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 110-hp advantage over the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2013's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2013 carries 35 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Alumaweld Intruder Outboard 22 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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 Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2013 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.
