Both the Avalon 22 ft. CC - Bow Fish 2011 and the Avalon Windjammer RC - 24 Foot 2008 are pontoon designs, both built in aluminium, so 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 22 ft. CC - Bow Fish 2011 at 22,0 ft versus Avalon Windjammer RC - 24 Foot 2008 at 24,0 ft. At 2 000 lbs and 2 035 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 135 hp, the Avalon Windjammer RC - 24 Foot 2008 has a 35-hp advantage over the Avalon 22 ft. CC - Bow Fish 2011's 100-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Avalon Windjammer RC - 24 Foot 2008 carries 24 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Avalon 22 ft. CC - Bow Fish 2011. 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 Avalon Windjammer RC - 24 Foot 2008 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Avalon 22 ft. CC - Bow Fish 2011 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Avalon Windjammer RC - 24 Foot 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Avalon Windjammer RC - 24 Foot 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 16 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Avalon 22 ft. CC - Bow Fish 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
