When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Weeres Allure 2012 and the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 240 2009 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Weeres Allure 2012 at 22,3 ft versus Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 240 2009 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weeres Allure 2012 tips the scales at 1 565 lbs — 1 409 lbs more than the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 240 2009 at 156 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 — 115 hp for the Weeres Allure 2012 and 130 hp for the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 240 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 Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 240 2009 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Weeres Allure 2012 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 240 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 240 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 Weeres Allure 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
