Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 vs Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010: A Close Look at Two Pontoon Boats

Both the Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 and the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 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 LS 21 ft. 2010 at 21,0 ft versus Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 tips the scales at 2 200 lbs - 400 lbs less than the Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 at 1 800 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 LS 21 ft. 2010 and 130 hp for the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 could be the deciding factor.

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.

Bottom line: Choose the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 11 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 vs Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 or the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010?
The Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 3,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 or the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010?
For trailering, the Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 has the edge at 1 800 lbs dry weight versus 2 200 lbs for the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010. 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.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 is rated to a maximum of 130 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 tops out at 115 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 is certified for 11. 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 measures 102" wide, compared to 96" for the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 and Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Avalon LS 21 ft. 2010 and the Avalon Rear Fish N Cruise 24 ft. 2010 are built by Avalon. 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.
