Weeres Sun Deck Family LX 220 2009 vs Weeres SunDeck SE 220 2007 — A Close Look at Two Pontoons

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Weeres Sun Deck Family LX 220 2009 and the Weeres SunDeck SE 220 2007 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 Sun Deck Family LX 220 2009 at 22,0 ft versus Weeres SunDeck SE 220 2007 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weeres SunDeck SE 220 2007 tips the scales at 1 865 lbs — 1 669 lbs less than the Weeres Sun Deck Family LX 220 2009 at 196 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 — 120 hp for the Weeres Sun Deck Family LX 220 2009 and 120 hp for the Weeres SunDeck SE 220 2007. 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 Sun Deck Family LX 220 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Weeres SunDeck SE 220 2007 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weeres Sun Deck Family LX 220 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Weeres Sun Deck Family LX 220 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weeres SunDeck SE 220 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
