Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Sea Ray 240 Select 2005 vs Sea Ray 680 Sun Sport 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Sea Ray 240 Select 2005 vs Sea Ray 680 Sun Sport 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sea Ray 240 Select 2005 measures 25,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 18,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sea Ray 680 Sun Sport 2005 at 7,0 feet (2005). At 45 lbs and 75 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Ray 680 Sun Sport 2005 is rated for 21 passengers, while the Sea Ray 240 Select 2005 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Ray 680 Sun Sport 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Ray 680 Sun Sport 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 21 passengers and at 7,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Ray 240 Select 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
