Sea Pro 220 2005 vs Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Sea Pro 220 2005 or the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008?

For trailering, the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 has the edge at 3 lbs dry weight versus 26 lbs for the Sea Pro 220 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.

Q: Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?

The Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 is rated to a maximum of 300 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Sea Pro 220 2005 tops out at 250 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Sea Pro 220 2005 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 is certified for 7. 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.

Q: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Sea Pro 220 2005 and Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 share an 8 ft. 6 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Sea Pro 220 2005 or the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008?

The Sea Pro 220 2005 has the bigger tank at 105 gallons, versus 12 gallons on the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008. That 93-gallon difference translates to roughly 279–465 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Sea Pro 220 2005 and Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Sea Pro 220 2005 and the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 are built by Sea Pro. 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.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Sea Pro 220 2005 vs Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Sea Pro 220 2005 vs Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 has a 50-hp advantage over the Sea Pro 220 2005's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Pro 220 2005 carries 105 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Sea Pro 220 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Sea Pro 238 CC 2008 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 Sea Pro 220 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
