Both the Sundance B22CCR 2011 and the Sundance NX21 2013 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 - Sundance B22CCR 2011 at 21,8 ft versus Sundance NX21 2013 at 21,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sundance NX21 2013 tips the scales at 1 850 lbs - 165 lbs less than the Sundance B22CCR 2011 at 1 685 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 150 hp for the Sundance B22CCR 2011 and 150 hp for the Sundance NX21 2013. 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 Sundance NX21 2013 carries 45 gallons versus 33 gallons in the Sundance B22CCR 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 8 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.
