When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Avalon 21 ft. LS 2013 and the Avalon Fish N Fun 22 ft. 2010 are pontoon 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 — Avalon 21 ft. LS 2013 at 21,0 ft versus Avalon Fish N Fun 22 ft. 2010 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Avalon 21 ft. LS 2013 tips the scales at 185 lbs — 183 lbs more than the Avalon Fish N Fun 22 ft. 2010 at 2 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 Avalon 21 ft. LS 2013 and 100 hp for the Avalon Fish N Fun 22 ft. 2010. 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 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.

Both are 2-tube and 2-tube pontoon designs respectively. Tube diameter and gauge affect stability and load capacity — more so than most buyers realize when comparing on paper.
