When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Sea Hunt BX 22 BR 2013 and the Sea Hunt BX 24 BR 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 — Sea Hunt BX 22 BR 2013 at 22,3 ft versus Sea Hunt BX 24 BR 2013 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Hunt BX 22 BR 2013 tips the scales at 225 lbs — 198 lbs more than the Sea Hunt BX 24 BR 2013 at 27 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Sea Hunt BX 24 BR 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Sea Hunt BX 22 BR 2013's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 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 Sea Hunt BX 24 BR 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Sea Hunt BX 22 BR 2013 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Hunt BX 24 BR 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Hunt BX 24 BR 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Hunt BX 22 BR 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
