Matching a pontoon Voyager Marine Express Triple Crown (20 ft.) 2010 against a flat Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Crappie 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Crappie 2011 measures 16,2 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 14,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Voyager Marine Express Triple Crown (20 ft.) 2010 at 2,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Voyager Marine Express Triple Crown (20 ft.) 2010 tips the scales at 175 lbs — 168 lbs more than the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Crappie 2011 at 7 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 Voyager Marine Express Triple Crown (20 ft.) 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Crappie 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 Express Triple Crown (20 ft.) 2010 could be the deciding factor.

The Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Crappie 2011 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 1 lbs per hp for the Voyager Marine Express Triple Crown (20 ft.) 2010. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
