Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Avalon Paradise - 20 Foot 2006 vs Avalon Pontoon LSZ 2685 VRL - SPP 2020 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Avalon Paradise - 20 Foot 2006 vs Avalon Pontoon LSZ 2685 VRL - SPP 2020 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Avalon Pontoon LSZ 2685 VRL - SPP 2020 has a 50-hp advantage over the Avalon Paradise - 20 Foot 2006's 100-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Avalon Paradise - 20 Foot 2006 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Avalon Pontoon LSZ 2685 VRL - SPP 2020 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Avalon Paradise - 20 Foot 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Avalon Paradise - 20 Foot 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Avalon Pontoon LSZ 2685 VRL - SPP 2020 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
