When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Voyager Marine 16 ft. 2010 and the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Fish & Cruise 2012 are pontoon designs with aluminum 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Fish & Cruise 2012 measures 22,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Voyager Marine 16 ft. 2010 at 16,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Voyager Marine 16 ft. 2010 tips the scales at 135 lbs — 133 lbs more than the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Fish & Cruise 2012 at 2 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 115 hp, the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Fish & Cruise 2012 has a 55-hp advantage over the Voyager Marine 16 ft. 2010's 60-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 Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Fish & Cruise 2012 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Voyager Marine 16 ft. 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Fish & Cruise 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Both are 2-tube and 2-tube pontoon designs respectively. Tube diameter and gauge affect stability and load capacity — more so than most buyers realize when comparing on paper.
