Matching a deep vee Reinell 207 LS 2012 against a modified vee Reinell 220 LSE 2013 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Reinell 207 LS 2012 at 20,6 ft versus Reinell 220 LSE 2013 at 21,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Reinell 207 LS 2012 tips the scales at 336 lbs — 302 lbs more than the Reinell 220 LSE 2013 at 34 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 320 hp, the Reinell 220 LSE 2013 has a 95-hp advantage over the Reinell 207 LS 2012's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Reinell 207 LS 2012 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Reinell 220 LSE 2013 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 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Reinell 207 LS 2012 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 220 LSE 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
