Both the Weeres Sport Fisherman 220 2009 and the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 are pontoon designs, both built in aluminium, so 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 Sport Fisherman 220 2009 at 22,0 ft versus Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 tips the scales at 1 605 lbs - 155 lbs less than the Weeres Sport Fisherman 220 2009 at 1 450 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 Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 has a 60-hp advantage over the Weeres Sport Fisherman 220 2009's 100-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Weeres Sport Fisherman 220 2009 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 13 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weeres Sport Fisherman 220 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
