Nautique Sport 226 2004 vs Nautique Super Air Nautique G23 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Nautique Sport 226 2004 vs Nautique Super Air Nautique G23 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.

On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Nautique Sport 226 2004 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Nautique Super Air Nautique G23 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 Sport 226 2004 could be the deciding factor.
