Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Wellcraft 22 Walkaround I/O 2004 vs Wellcraft 352 Tournament 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Wellcraft 22 Walkaround I/O 2004 vs Wellcraft 352 Tournament 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 900 hp, the Wellcraft 352 Tournament 2006 has a 600-hp advantage over the Wellcraft 22 Walkaround I/O 2004's 300-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Wellcraft 22 Walkaround I/O 2004 carries 99 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Wellcraft 352 Tournament 2006. 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 Wellcraft 352 Tournament 2006 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Wellcraft 22 Walkaround I/O 2004 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Wellcraft 352 Tournament 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Wellcraft 352 Tournament 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 35,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Wellcraft 22 Walkaround I/O 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
