Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Premier Boats Grand Majestic 250 RE 2006 vs Premier Boats SunSation LTD 235 FS 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Premier Boats Grand Majestic 250 RE 2006 vs Premier Boats SunSation LTD 235 FS 2009 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 Grand Majestic 250 RE 2006 at 24,0 ft versus Premier Boats SunSation LTD 235 FS 2009 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 250 RE 2006 tips the scales at 245 lbs — 216 lbs more than the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 235 FS 2009 at 29 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 Grand Majestic 250 RE 2006 and 150 hp for the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 235 FS 2009. 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Premier Boats Grand Majestic 250 RE 2006 is rated for 17 passengers, while the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 235 FS 2009 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 250 RE 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Premier Boats Grand Majestic 250 RE 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 17 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Premier Boats SunSation LTD 235 FS 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
