Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Wellcraft 22 Walkaround O/B 2004 vs Wellcraft 220 2005: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Wellcraft 22 Walkaround O/B 2004 vs Wellcraft 220 2005 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 250 hp for the Wellcraft 22 Walkaround O/B 2004 and 250 hp for the Wellcraft 220 2005. 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 carry nearly identical fuel loads - 99 gal and 100 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Wellcraft 220 2005 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Wellcraft 22 Walkaround O/B 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 220 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Wellcraft 220 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Wellcraft 22 Walkaround O/B 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.
