Charger 596 2011 vs Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Charger 596 2011 vs Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 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 Charger 596 2011 measures 21,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 19,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). At 18 lbs and 19 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 — 6 hp for the Charger 596 2011 and 6 hp for the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006. 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 Charger 596 2011 carries 53 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006. 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 2011 at 21,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 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.

Charger 596 2011 vs Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Charger 596 2011 or the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006?
The Charger 596 2011 is the longer of the two at 21,8 feet overall. The Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 comes in at 2,0 feet, making it roughly 19,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Charger 596 2011 or the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006?
For trailering, the Charger 596 2011 has the edge at 18 lbs dry weight versus 19 lbs for the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006. 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 Charger 596 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 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 2011 measures 96" wide, compared to 94" for the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006. 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 2011 or the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006?
The Charger 596 2011 has the bigger tank at 53 gallons, versus 5 gallons on the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006. 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 2011 and Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Charger 596 2011 and the Charger SUV 210 CC 2006 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.
