Supra Launch 22 SSV 2005 vs Supra Sunsport 20V 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Supra Launch 22 SSV 2005 vs Supra Sunsport 20V 2012 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Supra Launch 22 SSV 2005 at 21,0 ft versus Supra Sunsport 20V 2012 at 20,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Supra Launch 22 SSV 2005 tips the scales at 3 350 lbs - 250 lbs more than the Supra Sunsport 20V 2012 at 3 100 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 Supra Sunsport 20V 2012 tops out at 325 hp. Engine specs for the Supra Launch 22 SSV 2005 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 40 gal and 39 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 10 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 Supra Launch 22 SSV 2005 and Supra Sunsport 20V 2012 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
