Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 vs Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 and the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 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 Stryker Sport 2011 at 18,3 ft versus Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 at 20,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 tips the scales at 1 185 lbs — 1 173 lbs more than the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 and 115 hp for the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 38 gal and 35 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 20,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 vs Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 or the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012?
The Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 is the longer of the two at 20,3 feet overall. The Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 comes in at 18,3 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 or the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012?
For trailering, the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 has the edge at 12 lbs dry weight versus 1 185 lbs for the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 and Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 share an 94 in. At Chine: 72 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 or the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012?
The Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 has the bigger tank at 38 gallons, versus 35 gallons on the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012. That 3-gallon difference translates to roughly 9–15 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 and Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Alumaweld Stryker Sport 2011 and the Alumaweld Super Vee LT 20 ft. 2012 are built by Alumaweld. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
