Both the Crest III Classic 22 2008 and the Crest Super Fisherman 22 2009 are pontoon designs, both built in aluminium, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Crest III Classic 22 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Crest Super Fisherman 22 2009 at 22,0 ft. At 2 656 lbs and 2 566 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 - 135 hp for the Crest III Classic 22 2008 and 115 hp for the Crest Super Fisherman 22 2009. 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.
Both boats are rated for 14 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Crest III Classic 22 2008 and its 135-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Crest Super Fisherman 22 2009 with its 115-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
