Avalon LP RC Rear Fish - 24 Foot 2008 vs Avalon Windjammer Funship 2010: A Close Look at Two Pontoon Boats

Both the Avalon LP RC Rear Fish - 24 Foot 2008 and the Avalon Windjammer Funship 2010 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 LP RC Rear Fish - 24 Foot 2008 at 24,0 ft versus Avalon Windjammer Funship 2010 at 24,0 ft. At 2 272 lbs and 2 250 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 135 hp for the Avalon LP RC Rear Fish - 24 Foot 2008 and 150 hp for the Avalon Windjammer Funship 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Avalon Windjammer Funship 2010 carries 42 gallons versus 36 gallons in the Avalon LP RC Rear Fish - 24 Foot 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 Avalon LP RC Rear Fish - 24 Foot 2008 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Avalon Windjammer Funship 2010 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Avalon LP RC Rear Fish - 24 Foot 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Avalon LP RC Rear Fish - 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 Windjammer Funship 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
