Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Harris Flotebote Crowne 220 O/B 2005 vs Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 230 SSL LX 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Harris Flotebote Crowne 220 O/B 2005 vs Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 230 SSL LX 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Harris Flotebote Crowne 220 O/B 2005 at 22,0 ft versus Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 230 SSL LX 2007 at 24,0 ft. At 2 468 lbs and 2 398 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 150 hp, the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 230 SSL LX 2007 has a 30-hp advantage over the Harris Flotebote Crowne 220 O/B 2005's 120-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 Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 230 SSL LX 2007 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Harris Flotebote Crowne 220 O/B 2005 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 230 SSL LX 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 230 SSL LX 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Harris Flotebote Crowne 220 O/B 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
