When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Weeres Legacy 240 2013 and the Weeres SunDeck 220 2008 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 Legacy 240 2013 at 24,3 ft versus Weeres SunDeck 220 2008 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weeres SunDeck 220 2008 tips the scales at 1 865 lbs — 1 599 lbs less 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Weeres Legacy 240 2013 has a 30-hp advantage over the Weeres SunDeck 220 2008's 120-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Weeres SunDeck 220 2008 carries 24 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Weeres Legacy 240 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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 SunDeck 220 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 SunDeck 220 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.
