The Supra Launch 20 SSV 2006 vs Supra Launch 22 SSV 2007 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 Supra Launch 22 SSV 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Supra Launch 20 SSV 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Supra Launch 22 SSV 2007 tips the scales at 395 lbs — 363 lbs less than the Supra Launch 20 SSV 2006 at 32 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 450 hp, the Supra Launch 22 SSV 2007 has a 110-hp advantage over the Supra Launch 20 SSV 2006's 340-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Supra Launch 22 SSV 2007 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Supra Launch 20 SSV 2006 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Supra Launch 22 SSV 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Supra Launch 22 SSV 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Supra Launch 20 SSV 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
