When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Wellcraft 27 Tournament 2010 and the Wellcraft 30 Sport 2010 are deep vee designs with fiberglass 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?

The Wellcraft 30 Sport 2010 tops out at 600 hp. Engine specs for the Wellcraft 27 Tournament 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Wellcraft 30 Sport 2010 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Wellcraft 27 Tournament 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Wellcraft 30 Sport 2010 could be the deciding factor.
