Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 vs Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012: A Close Look at Two Pontoon Boats
Both the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 and the Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 are pontoon designs, both built in aluminium, so 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 at 20,0 ft versus Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 at 21,4 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 tips the scales at 2 200 lbs - 250 lbs more than the Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 at 1 950 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 Legend 210 RE 2007 carries 30 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012. 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.
Bottom line: Choose the Premier Boats Legend 210 RE 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 11 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Premier Boats Leisure SunSpree 220 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
