If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Premier Boats SunSation 240 FS 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Premier Boats SunSation 240 FS 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 11 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Premier Boats 210 Gemini 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
