When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Cruise 2011 and the Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Cruise 2011 at 22,0 ft versus Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 at 22,0 ft. At 2 lbs and 2 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the Voyager Marine 22 ft. Super Cruise 2011 and 115 hp for the Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

Both boats are rated for 12 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.

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.
