The Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 vs Sunseeker Predator 68 2017 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 68 2017 measures 71,2 feet overall (2017), giving it roughly 5,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 at 66,1 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sunseeker Predator 68 2017 tips the scales at 82 209 lbs — 18 409 lbs less than the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 at 63 800 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 1 200 hp for the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 and 1 200 hp for the Sunseeker Predator 68 2017. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sunseeker Predator 68 2017 carries 925 gallons versus 792 gallons in the Sunseeker Predator 64 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 Sunseeker Predator 68 2017 is rated for 21 passengers, while the Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 caps at 20. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sunseeker Predator 68 2017 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sunseeker Predator 68 2017 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 21 passengers and at 71,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sunseeker Predator 64 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 20 that costs less to run day-to-day.
