When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Vectra 2200 CR 2008 and the Vectra 2572 OB 2009 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — 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 — Vectra 2200 CR 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Vectra 2572 OB 2009 at 24,0 ft. At 3 147 lbs and 3 075 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 Vectra 2572 OB 2009 tops out at 250 hp. Engine specs for the Vectra 2200 CR 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Vectra 2572 OB 2009 carries 75 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Vectra 2200 CR 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Vectra 2572 OB 2009 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Vectra 2200 CR 2008 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Vectra 2572 OB 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Vectra 2572 OB 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Vectra 2200 CR 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
