When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 and the Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 at 22,3 ft versus Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013 at 20,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 tips the scales at 235 lbs — 203 lbs more than the Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013 at 32 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 200 hp for the Fun Chaser 2200 DS Cruiser 2011 and 200 hp for the Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
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 DS 20 Cruiser 2013 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 DS 20 Cruiser 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
