Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 vs Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 vs Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 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 — Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 at 23,0 ft versus Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 at 22,0 ft. At 235 lbs and 235 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 — 140 hp for the Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 and 120 hp for the Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006. 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.

Both boats are rated for 12 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 and its 140-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 with its 120-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 vs Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 or the Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006?
The Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 is the longer of the two at 23,0 feet overall. The Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 1,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 or the Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006?
For trailering, the Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 has the edge at 235 lbs dry weight versus 235 lbs for the Premier Boats Alante 231 2007. 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 Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 is rated to a maximum of 140 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 tops out at 120 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 Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 12 passengers, while the Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 is certified for 12. 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 Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 and Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 share an 8 ft. 6 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 Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 and Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Premier Boats Alante 231 2007 and the Premier Boats Legend 225 RE 2006 are built by Premier Boats. 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.
