The Crest Family Fish R 22 2007 vs Crest Pro Angler LE 20 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Crest Family Fish R 22 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Crest Pro Angler LE 20 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Crest Family Fish R 22 2007 tips the scales at 2 543 lbs — 268 lbs more than the Crest Pro Angler LE 20 2007 at 2 275 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 135 hp, the Crest Family Fish R 22 2007 has a 35-hp advantage over the Crest Pro Angler LE 20 2007's 100-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Crest Family Fish R 22 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Crest Family Fish R 22 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Crest Pro Angler LE 20 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
