Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Nautique Byerly Icon Edition 210 2012 vs Nautique Sport 226 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Nautique Byerly Icon Edition 210 2012 vs Nautique Sport 226 2004 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 Byerly Icon Edition 210 2012 carries a rated maximum of 450 hp. Engine data for the Nautique Sport 226 2004 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 5 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 12 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Nautique Byerly Icon Edition 210 2012 and Nautique Sport 226 2004 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
