The Odyssey 225CR 2007 vs Odyssey Lextra 2115L 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Odyssey 225CR 2007 measures 26,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 24,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Odyssey Lextra 2115L 2004 at 2,0 feet (2004). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Odyssey 225CR 2007 tips the scales at 244 lbs — 225 lbs more than the Odyssey Lextra 2115L 2004 at 19 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 Odyssey 225CR 2007 carries a rated maximum of 150 hp. Engine data for the Odyssey Lextra 2115L 2004 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Odyssey 225CR 2007 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Odyssey Lextra 2115L 2004 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Odyssey 225CR 2007 could be the deciding factor.
The Odyssey 225CR 2007 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Odyssey Lextra 2115L 2004 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
Bottom line: Choose the Odyssey 225CR 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Odyssey Lextra 2115L 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
