When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Weeres Fisherman Deluxe 220 Tri-toon 2008 and the Weeres Legacy 240 2013 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 Fisherman Deluxe 220 Tri-toon 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Weeres Legacy 240 2013 at 24,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weeres Fisherman Deluxe 220 Tri-toon 2008 tips the scales at 1 635 lbs — 1 369 lbs more than the Weeres Legacy 240 2013 at 266 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 — 160 hp for the Weeres Fisherman Deluxe 220 Tri-toon 2008 and 150 hp for the Weeres Legacy 240 2013. 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 Legacy 240 2013 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Weeres Fisherman Deluxe 220 Tri-toon 2008 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weeres Legacy 240 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weeres Legacy 240 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 24,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weeres Fisherman Deluxe 220 Tri-toon 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
