Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 Sport Fish Regency Edition 2009 vs Sun Tracker PARTY BARGE® 22 RF XP3 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 Sport Fish Regency Edition 2009 vs Sun Tracker PARTY BARGE® 22 RF XP3 2022 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 — 135 hp for the Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 Sport Fish Regency Edition 2009 and 150 hp for the Sun Tracker PARTY BARGE® 22 RF XP3 2022. 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 Sport Fish Regency Edition 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Sun Tracker PARTY BARGE® 22 RF XP3 2022 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 Sport Fish Regency Edition 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 Sport Fish Regency Edition 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sun Tracker PARTY BARGE® 22 RF XP3 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
