Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
EdgeWater 220IS 2011 vs EdgeWater 388CC 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee EdgeWater 220IS 2011 against a deep vee EdgeWater 388CC 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The EdgeWater 388CC 2011 measures 37,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 15,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the EdgeWater 220IS 2011 at 22,0 feet (2011). At 24 lbs and 96 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 1 050 hp, the EdgeWater 388CC 2011 has a 800-hp advantage over the EdgeWater 220IS 2011's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the EdgeWater 220IS 2011 carries 65 gallons versus 34 gallons in the EdgeWater 388CC 2011. 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 EdgeWater 388CC 2011 is rated for 11 passengers, while the EdgeWater 220IS 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the EdgeWater 388CC 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the EdgeWater 388CC 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 37,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The EdgeWater 220IS 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
