When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Blazer Boats 2020 2012 and the Blazer Boats 2200 2010 are modified vee designs with composite 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 — Blazer Boats 2020 2012 at 20,2 ft versus Blazer Boats 2200 2010 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Blazer Boats 2200 2010 tips the scales at 1 575 lbs — 1 420 lbs less than the Blazer Boats 2020 2012 at 155 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Blazer Boats 2200 2010 has a 35-hp advantage over the Blazer Boats 2020 2012's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 5 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 8 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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Blazer Boats 2200 2010 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Blazer Boats 2020 2012 with its 115-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
