When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 and the Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 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 Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 measures 21,4 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 19,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 tips the scales at 195 lbs — 173 lbs less than the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 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 115 hp, the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 has a 25-hp advantage over the Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012's 90-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 Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 carries 12 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 could be the deciding factor.
