For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Weeres Cruise 240 SE 2005 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Weeres Fisherman Deluxe 220 2004 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weeres Cruise 240 SE 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Both are inflatable designs, which means they pack down for compact storage, can be carried in a bag, and are dramatically lighter than equivalent rigid hulls. The trade-off is setup time and the need to monitor tube pressure regularly.
Bottom line: Choose the Weeres Cruise 240 SE 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weeres Fisherman Deluxe 220 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
