Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Cruisers Yachts 338 Outboard 2021 vs Cruisers Yachts 46 Cantius 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Cruisers Yachts 338 Outboard 2021 vs Cruisers Yachts 46 Cantius 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 480 hp, the Cruisers Yachts 46 Cantius 2022 has a 130-hp advantage over the Cruisers Yachts 338 Outboard 2021's 350-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Cruisers Yachts 46 Cantius 2022 carries 358 gallons versus 22 gallons in the Cruisers Yachts 338 Outboard 2021. 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 Cruisers Yachts 46 Cantius 2022 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Cruisers Yachts 338 Outboard 2021 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Cruisers Yachts 46 Cantius 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Cruisers Yachts 46 Cantius 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 46,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Cruisers Yachts 338 Outboard 2021 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
