Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Harris Flotebote Angler LE 220 2005 vs Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Harris Flotebote Angler LE 220 2005 vs Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2011 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Harris Flotebote Angler LE 220 2005 measures 22,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2011 at 18,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2011 tips the scales at 2 104 lbs — 2 086 lbs less than the Harris Flotebote Angler LE 220 2005 at 18 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 Harris Flotebote Angler LE 220 2005 carries a rated maximum of 115 hp. Engine data for the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
Both boats are rated for 9 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.
Bottom line: The Harris Flotebote Angler LE 220 2005 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2011 at 18,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
