Charger 596 2010 vs Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Charger 596 2010 vs Charger SUV 190 DC 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Charger 596 2010 at 21,8 ft versus Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 at 19,0 ft. At 18 lbs and 18 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 has a 194-hp advantage over the Charger 596 2010'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 596 2010 carries 53 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007. 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.

Bottom line: The Charger 596 2010 at 21,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 at 19,0 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.

Charger 596 2010 vs Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Charger 596 2010 or the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007?
The Charger 596 2010 is the longer of the two at 21,8 feet overall. The Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 comes in at 19,0 feet, making it roughly 2,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Charger 596 2010 or the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007?
For trailering, the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 has the edge at 18 lbs dry weight versus 18 lbs for the Charger 596 2010. 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.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 is rated to a maximum of 200 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Charger 596 2010 tops out at 6 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Charger 596 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Charger 596 2010 measures 96" wide, compared to 95" for the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Charger 596 2010 or the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007?
The Charger 596 2010 has the bigger tank at 53 gallons, versus 5 gallons on the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007. That 48-gallon difference translates to roughly 144–240 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Charger 596 2010 and Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Charger 596 2010 and the Charger SUV 190 DC 2007 are built by Charger. 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.
