Matching a modified vee Charger 496 2011 against a deep vee Charger SUV 190 2011 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Charger 496 2011 at 20,5 ft versus Charger SUV 190 2011 at 19,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Charger 496 2011 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 147 lbs more than the Charger SUV 190 2011 at 18 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 200 hp, the Charger SUV 190 2011 has a 194-hp advantage over the Charger 496 2011's 6-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Charger 496 2011 carries 44 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Charger SUV 190 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.
