The Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2010 vs Harris Flotebote Sunliner 240 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.

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 Sunliner 240 2007 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 240 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Harris Flotebote Sunliner 240 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Harris Flotebote Sunliner 180 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
