When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Pro-Lite 20CC 2009 and the Pro-Lite 22CC 2009 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?
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Pro-Lite 22CC 2009 has a 60-hp advantage over the Pro-Lite 20CC 2009's 140-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 7 gal and 7 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.
Bottom line: The Pro-Lite 22CC 2009 at 21,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Pro-Lite 20CC 2009 at 2,0 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.
