When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012 and the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 are modified vee designs with fiberglass 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 Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 measures 22,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012 at 19,0 feet (2012). At 224 lbs and 235 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 200 hp, the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 has a 50-hp advantage over the Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 22,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
