The Weeres Angler 220 2013 vs Weeres Sport Fish 220 SE Tri-toon 2006 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Weeres Angler 220 2013 at 22,3 ft versus Weeres Sport Fish 220 SE Tri-toon 2006 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weeres Angler 220 2013 tips the scales at 2 025 lbs — 1 861 lbs more than the Weeres Sport Fish 220 SE Tri-toon 2006 at 164 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 160 hp, the Weeres Sport Fish 220 SE Tri-toon 2006 has a 45-hp advantage over the Weeres Angler 220 2013's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

Both boats are rated for 11 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Weeres Sport Fish 220 SE Tri-toon 2006 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 18 lbs per hp for the Weeres Angler 220 2013. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.

The Weeres Sport Fish 220 SE Tri-toon 2006 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Weeres Angler 220 2013 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
