Matching a deep vee Reinell 207 LS 2010 against a modified vee Reinell 246 LSE 2008 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Reinell 246 LSE 2008 measures 24,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 3,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Reinell 207 LS 2010 at 20,6 feet (2010). At 336 lbs and 412 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Reinell 246 LSE 2008 has a 200-hp advantage over the Reinell 207 LS 2010's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Reinell 246 LSE 2008 carries 81 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Reinell 207 LS 2010. 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 Reinell 207 LS 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Reinell 246 LSE 2008 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Reinell 207 LS 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Reinell 207 LS 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 20,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Reinell 246 LSE 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
