The Supra Sunsport 20 V 2006 vs Supra Sunsport 24 V 2009 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 Supra Sunsport 24 V 2009 measures 24,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 22,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Supra Sunsport 20 V 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Supra Sunsport 24 V 2009 tips the scales at 395 lbs — 363 lbs less than the Supra Sunsport 20 V 2006 at 32 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 — 340 hp for the Supra Sunsport 20 V 2006 and 325 hp for the Supra Sunsport 24 V 2009. 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Supra Sunsport 24 V 2009 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Supra Sunsport 20 V 2006 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Supra Sunsport 24 V 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Supra Sunsport 24 V 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Supra Sunsport 20 V 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
