When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Pro-Line 22 cc 2011 and the Pro-Line 23 cc 2013 are modified vee designs with fiberglass 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 — Pro-Line 22 cc 2011 at 21,9 ft versus Pro-Line 23 cc 2013 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pro-Line 22 cc 2011 tips the scales at 2 187 lbs — 2 155 lbs more than the Pro-Line 23 cc 2013 at 32 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 — 200 hp for the Pro-Line 22 cc 2011 and 200 hp for the Pro-Line 23 cc 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 — 7 gal and 7 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Pro-Line 23 cc 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Pro-Line 22 cc 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Pro-Line 23 cc 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Pro-Line 23 cc 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Pro-Line 22 cc 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
