Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Chris-Craft Launch 22 2011 vs Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Chris-Craft Launch 22 2011 vs Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT 2022 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 Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT 2022 measures 35,1 feet overall (2022), giving it roughly 11,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Chris-Craft Launch 22 2011 at 23,4 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT 2022 tips the scales at 12 899 lbs — 8 880 lbs less than the Chris-Craft Launch 22 2011 at 4 019 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 Launch 35 GT 2022 tops out at 350 hp. Engine specs for the Chris-Craft Launch 22 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT 2022 carries 185 gallons versus 58 gallons in the Chris-Craft Launch 22 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT 2022 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Chris-Craft Launch 22 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Chris-Craft Launch 35 GT 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 35,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Chris-Craft Launch 22 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
