The Smoker Craft 2200 Sunship GLX 2005 vs Smoker Craft Infinity M-820 CR 2004 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Smoker Craft 2200 Sunship GLX 2005 measures 22,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Smoker Craft Infinity M-820 CR 2004 at 2,0 feet (2004). At 194 lbs and 162 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Smoker Craft 2200 Sunship GLX 2005 carries a rated maximum of 200 hp. Engine data for the Smoker Craft Infinity M-820 CR 2004 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Smoker Craft Infinity M-820 CR 2004 carries 24 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Smoker Craft 2200 Sunship GLX 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 12 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 Smoker Craft 2200 Sunship GLX 2005 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Smoker Craft Infinity M-820 CR 2004 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.
