Matching a tunnel Blue Wave 190 Super Tunnel 2010 against a modified vee Blue Wave 220 T-Special 2007 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Blue Wave 220 T-Special 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Blue Wave 190 Super Tunnel 2010 at 18,8 feet (2010). At 11 lbs and 13 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 — 150 hp for the Blue Wave 190 Super Tunnel 2010 and 150 hp for the Blue Wave 220 T-Special 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Blue Wave 220 T-Special 2007 carries 35 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Blue Wave 190 Super Tunnel 2010. 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 Blue Wave 220 T-Special 2007 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Blue Wave 190 Super Tunnel 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Blue Wave 220 T-Special 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Blue Wave 220 T-Special 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Blue Wave 190 Super Tunnel 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
