When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 210 LTD 2008 and the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 160 RE 2010 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 SunSation LTD 160 RE 2010 measures 16,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 210 LTD 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 160 RE 2010 tips the scales at 145 lbs — 130 lbs less than the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 210 LTD 2008 at 15 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 100 hp, the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 210 LTD 2008 has a 50-hp advantage over the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 160 RE 2010's 50-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 3 gal and 3 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Premier Boats Grand Majestic 210 LTD 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 160 RE 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 210 LTD 2008 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Premier Boats Grand Majestic 210 LTD 2008 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 3 lbs per hp for the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 160 RE 2010. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
Bottom line: Choose the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 210 LTD 2008 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 Premier Boats SunSation LTD 160 RE 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
