Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 vs Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011: A Close Look at Two Pontoon Boats

Both the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 and the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 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 Cruiser 200 CX 2011 at 20,0 ft versus Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 tips the scales at 2 600 lbs - 600 lbs less than the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 at 2 000 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 vs Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 or the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011?
The Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 comes in at 20,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 or the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011?
For trailering, the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 has the edge at 2 000 lbs dry weight versus 2 600 lbs for the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011.

Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 11 passengers, while the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 is certified for 12.

Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 and Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 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. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 or the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011?
The Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 has the bigger tank at 50 gallons, versus 24 gallons on the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011. That 26-gallon difference translates to roughly 78–130 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Yes - both the Harris Flotebote Cruiser 200 CX 2011 and the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 220 2011 are built by Harris Flotebote. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line.
