When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Custom Weld Cobra SE - 20 ft. 2010 and the Custom Weld Storm - 22 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Custom Weld Storm - 22 ft. 2010 measures 22,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Custom Weld Cobra SE - 20 ft. 2010 at 2,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Custom Weld Storm - 22 ft. 2010 tips the scales at 345 lbs — 318 lbs less than the Custom Weld Cobra SE - 20 ft. 2010 at 27 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 Custom Weld Cobra SE - 20 ft. 2010 carries a rated maximum of 350 hp. Engine data for the Custom Weld Storm - 22 ft. 2010 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Custom Weld Cobra SE - 20 ft. 2010 carries 52 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Custom Weld Storm - 22 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 6 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: The Custom Weld Storm - 22 ft. 2010 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Custom Weld Cobra SE - 20 ft. 2010 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
