Both the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 and the Weeres Suntanner SE 240 2007 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 Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 at 22,0 ft versus Weeres Suntanner SE 240 2007 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weeres Suntanner SE 240 2007 tips the scales at 2 000 lbs - 395 lbs less than the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 at 1 605 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 30-hp advantage over the Weeres Suntanner SE 240 2007's 130-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 13 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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Weeres Sportsman Deluxe 220 SE Tri-toon 2008 and its 160-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Weeres Suntanner SE 240 2007 with its 130-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
