When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Premier Boats Legend 210 ES 2007 and the Premier Boats SunSation 240 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 240 2010 measures 24,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 22,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Premier Boats Legend 210 ES 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Premier Boats SunSation 240 2010 tips the scales at 275 lbs — 253 lbs less than the Premier Boats Legend 210 ES 2007 at 22 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 150 hp, the Premier Boats SunSation 240 2010 has a 35-hp advantage over the Premier Boats Legend 210 ES 2007's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Premier Boats SunSation 240 2010 carries 21 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Premier Boats Legend 210 ES 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 11 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.
