When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Premier Boats Legend 210 ES 2007 and the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 210 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 210 RE 2010 measures 21,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 19,0 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 LTD 210 RE 2010 tips the scales at 235 lbs — 213 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the Premier Boats Legend 210 ES 2007 and 100 hp for the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 210 RE 2010. 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 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 SunSation LTD 210 RE 2010 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Premier Boats Legend 210 ES 2007 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Premier Boats SunSation LTD 210 RE 2010 could be the deciding factor.
