When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Panga 22 ft. Boca Grande 2013 and the Panga 22 ft. Marquesas 2013 are deep vee designs with composite construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Panga 22 ft. Boca Grande 2013 at 22,8 ft versus Panga 22 ft. Marquesas 2013 at 22,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Panga 22 ft. Boca Grande 2013 tips the scales at 1 825 lbs — 1 660 lbs more than the Panga 22 ft. Marquesas 2013 at 165 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Panga 22 ft. Boca Grande 2013 and 150 hp for the Panga 22 ft. Marquesas 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 49 gal and 49 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 6 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.
