Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Blazer Boats Bay 1860 2005 vs Blazer Boats Bay 2220 Fisherman 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Blazer Boats Bay 1860 2005 vs Blazer Boats Bay 2220 Fisherman 2007 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Blazer Boats Bay 2220 Fisherman 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Blazer Boats Bay 1860 2005 at 18,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Blazer Boats Bay 2220 Fisherman 2007 tips the scales at 155 lbs — 143 lbs less than the Blazer Boats Bay 1860 2005 at 12 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 — 150 hp for the Blazer Boats Bay 1860 2005 and 150 hp for the Blazer Boats Bay 2220 Fisherman 2007. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Blazer Boats Bay 2220 Fisherman 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Blazer Boats Bay 1860 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Blazer Boats Bay 2220 Fisherman 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Blazer Boats Bay 2220 Fisherman 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Blazer Boats Bay 1860 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
