Xpress H22B-SS 2011 vs Xpress HD22CC 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Xpress H22B-SS 2011 vs Xpress HD22CC 2007 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Xpress H22B-SS 2011 at 22,0 ft versus Xpress HD22CC 2007 at 22,0 ft. At 1 219 lbs and 1 219 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 Xpress H22B-SS 2011 and 130 hp for the Xpress HD22CC 2007. 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Xpress H22B-SS 2011 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Xpress HD22CC 2007 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Xpress H22B-SS 2011 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Xpress H22B-SS 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Xpress HD22CC 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Xpress H22B-SS 2011 vs Xpress HD22CC 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Xpress H22B-SS 2011 or the Xpress HD22CC 2007?
The Xpress HD22CC 2007 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Xpress H22B-SS 2011 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Xpress H22B-SS 2011 or the Xpress HD22CC 2007?
For trailering, the Xpress HD22CC 2007 has the edge at 1 219 lbs dry weight versus 1 219 lbs for the Xpress H22B-SS 2011. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Xpress HD22CC 2007 is rated to a maximum of 130 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Xpress H22B-SS 2011 tops out at 115 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Xpress H22B-SS 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 8 passengers, while the Xpress HD22CC 2007 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Xpress H22B-SS 2011 and Xpress HD22CC 2007 share an 95 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Are the Xpress H22B-SS 2011 and Xpress HD22CC 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Xpress H22B-SS 2011 and the Xpress HD22CC 2007 are built by Xpress. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
