The Sunseeker Predator 52 2009 vs Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 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 Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 measures 66,1 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 8,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sunseeker Predator 52 2009 at 57,9 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 tips the scales at 63 800 lbs — 9 125 lbs less than the Sunseeker Predator 52 2009 at 54 675 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 1 200 hp, the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 has a 400-hp advantage over the Sunseeker Predator 52 2009's 800-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 carries 792 gallons versus 565 gallons in the Sunseeker Predator 52 2009. 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 Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 is rated for 20 passengers, while the Sunseeker Predator 52 2009 caps at 17. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 20 passengers and at 66,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sunseeker Predator 52 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 17 that costs less to run day-to-day.
