The Odyssey 222C TT I/O 2006 vs Odyssey 320C 2006 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Odyssey 222C TT I/O 2006 measures 23,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Odyssey 320C 2006 at 19,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Odyssey 222C TT I/O 2006 tips the scales at 2 245 lbs — 330 lbs more than the Odyssey 320C 2006 at 1 915 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 135 hp, the Odyssey 222C TT I/O 2006 has a 45-hp advantage over the Odyssey 320C 2006's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 11 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.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Odyssey 222C TT I/O 2006 comes in at 17 lbs per hp versus 21 lbs per hp for the Odyssey 320C 2006. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
Both are inflatable designs, which means they pack down for compact storage, can be carried in a bag, and are dramatically lighter than equivalent rigid hulls. The trade-off is setup time and the need to monitor tube pressure regularly. Tube diameter differs: 23 in on the Odyssey 222C TT I/O 2006 vs 25 in on the Odyssey 320C 2006 — larger tubes generally mean more buoyancy and a drier, more stable ride.
Bottom line: The Odyssey 222C TT I/O 2006 at 23,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Odyssey 320C 2006 at 19,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
