Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 vs Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 vs Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 250 hp for the Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 and 250 hp for the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 carries 52 gallons versus 32 gallons in the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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 Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 and Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.

Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 vs Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 or the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005?
For trailering, the Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 has the edge at 1 385 lbs dry weight versus 1 965 lbs for the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 measures 95" wide, compared to 93" for the Ranger 223 Cayman 2007. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 or the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005?
The Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 has the bigger tank at 52 gallons, versus 32 gallons on the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005. That 20-gallon difference translates to roughly 60–100 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 and Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Ranger 223 Cayman 2007 and the Ranger Z22 COMANCHE SERIES 2005 are built by Ranger. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
