When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Parti Kraft PK 220 2013 and the Parti Kraft PK 2386 DF 2009 are pontoon designs with aluminum 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 — Parti Kraft PK 220 2013 at 24,0 ft versus Parti Kraft PK 2386 DF 2009 at 23,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Parti Kraft PK 2386 DF 2009 tips the scales at 1 745 lbs — 1 463 lbs less than the Parti Kraft PK 220 2013 at 282 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 Parti Kraft PK 220 2013 and 135 hp for the Parti Kraft PK 2386 DF 2009. 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 — 24 gal and 24 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Parti Kraft PK 220 2013 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Parti Kraft PK 2386 DF 2009 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Parti Kraft PK 220 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Parti Kraft PK 220 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Parti Kraft PK 2386 DF 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
