Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Chris-Craft Catalina 24 2022 vs Chris-Craft Corsair 22 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Chris-Craft Catalina 24 2022 vs Chris-Craft Corsair 22 2012 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 — Chris-Craft Catalina 24 2022 at 26,1 ft versus Chris-Craft Corsair 22 2012 at 23,4 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Chris-Craft Catalina 24 2022 tips the scales at 6 090 lbs — 1 981 lbs more than the Chris-Craft Corsair 22 2012 at 4 109 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 Chris-Craft Catalina 24 2022 carries a rated maximum of 350 hp. Engine data for the Chris-Craft Corsair 22 2012 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Chris-Craft Catalina 24 2022 carries 117 gallons versus 58 gallons in the Chris-Craft Corsair 22 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 7 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 Chris-Craft Catalina 24 2022 at 26,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Chris-Craft Corsair 22 2012 at 23,4 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.
