The Nautique Air 226 2004 vs Nautique G25 Paragon 2022 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.
The Nautique G25 Paragon 2022 tops out at 600 hp. Engine specs for the Nautique Air 226 2004 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Nautique Air 226 2004 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Nautique G25 Paragon 2022 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Nautique Air 226 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Nautique Air 226 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
