Matching a pontoon Voyager Marine 22 ft. Express Center Console Fish 2013 against a flat Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Voyager Marine 22 ft. Express Center Console Fish 2013 measures 22,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 at 16,2 feet (2011). At 24 lbs and 82 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Express Center Console Fish 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011's 75-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Express Center Console Fish 2013 carries 41 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011. 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 Voyager Marine 22 ft. Express Center Console Fish 2013 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Express Center Console Fish 2013 could be the deciding factor.
