When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Premier Boats Boundary Waters 275 RE 2011 and the Premier Boats Intrigue 250 2007 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Premier Boats Boundary Waters 275 RE 2011 measures 27,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Premier Boats Intrigue 250 2007 at 24,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Premier Boats Intrigue 250 2007 tips the scales at 245 lbs — 206 lbs less than the Premier Boats Boundary Waters 275 RE 2011 at 39 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Premier Boats Boundary Waters 275 RE 2011 and 150 hp for the Premier Boats Intrigue 250 2007. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Premier Boats Boundary Waters 275 RE 2011 carries 33 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Premier Boats Intrigue 250 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 17 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.
