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.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Nautique Crossover Nautique 216V 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Nautique Crossover Nautique 216V 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Nautique Sport SV 211 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
