Bullet 20XDC 2013 vs Bullet 20XRD 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Bullet 20XDC 2013 vs Bullet 20XRD 2004 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 Bullet 20XDC 2013 measures 20,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 18,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Bullet 20XRD 2004 at 2,0 feet (2004). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bullet 20XDC 2013 tips the scales at 1 175 lbs — 1 163 lbs more than the Bullet 20XRD 2004 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 are rated for 6 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: The Bullet 20XDC 2013 at 20,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Bullet 20XRD 2004 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.

Bullet 20XDC 2013 vs Bullet 20XRD 2004 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Bullet 20XDC 2013 or the Bullet 20XRD 2004?
The Bullet 20XDC 2013 is the longer of the two at 20,1 feet overall. The Bullet 20XRD 2004 comes in at 2,0 feet, making it roughly 18,1 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Bullet 20XDC 2013 or the Bullet 20XRD 2004?
For trailering, the Bullet 20XRD 2004 has the edge at 12 lbs dry weight versus 1 175 lbs for the Bullet 20XDC 2013. 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Bullet 20XDC 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Bullet 20XRD 2004 is certified for 6. 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.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Bullet 20XDC 2013 and Bullet 20XRD 2004 share an 91 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Are the Bullet 20XDC 2013 and Bullet 20XRD 2004 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Bullet 20XDC 2013 and the Bullet 20XRD 2004 are built by Bullet. 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.
