When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Custom Weld 22 - 24 ft. Whitewater Special 2011 and the Custom Weld Custom Series Inboard - 23 ft. 2010 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — 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 — Custom Weld 22 - 24 ft. Whitewater Special 2011 at 22,0 ft versus Custom Weld Custom Series Inboard - 23 ft. 2010 at 23,0 ft. At 5 lbs and 46 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.

The Custom Weld Custom Series Inboard - 23 ft. 2010 tops out at 325 hp. Engine specs for the Custom Weld 22 - 24 ft. Whitewater Special 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Custom Weld 22 - 24 ft. Whitewater Special 2011 carries 13 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Custom Weld Custom Series Inboard - 23 ft. 2010. 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.
