The Weeres Eclipse 220 2013 vs Weeres SunDeck 220 SE 2005 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 Eclipse 220 2013 at 22,3 ft versus Weeres SunDeck 220 SE 2005 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weeres Eclipse 220 2013 tips the scales at 2 005 lbs — 140 lbs more than the Weeres SunDeck 220 SE 2005 at 1 865 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 Eclipse 220 2013 and 120 hp for the Weeres SunDeck 220 SE 2005. 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.

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 SunDeck 220 SE 2005 comes in at 16 lbs per hp versus 17 lbs per hp for the Weeres Eclipse 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 SunDeck 220 SE 2005 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Weeres Eclipse 220 2013 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
