Both the Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 and the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010 are pontoon designs, both built in aluminium, so 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 - Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 at 25,0 ft versus Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010 at 22,0 ft.

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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 15 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.

The Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 is the longer of the two at 25,0 feet overall. The Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 3,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 or the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010?
For trailering, the Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 has the edge at 2 513 lbs dry weight versus 2 700 lbs for the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010.

How many people can each boat hold?
The Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 13 passengers, while the Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010 is certified for 15.

Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Harris Flotebote Crowne 230 2008 and Harris Flotebote Super Sunliner 220 2010 share an 8 ft. 6 in. beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads.
