The Westerly Griffon 2 1982 vs Westerly Konsort 1982 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 20 hp for the Westerly Griffon 2 1982 and 30 hp for the Westerly Konsort 1982. 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 Westerly Konsort 1982 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Westerly Griffon 2 1982 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Westerly Konsort 1982 could be the deciding factor.

The Westerly Griffon 2 1982 has a documented displacement of 5 900 lbs. Displacement data wasn't available for the other boat in this comparison.

Both boats draw a similar depth — 3,3 ft and 3,6 ft respectively. Marina access and anchorage options should be broadly equivalent between the two.

For auxiliary power the Westerly Konsort 1982 carries a 30-hp engine against 20 hp on the Westerly Griffon 2 1982. Motoring range and ability to punch through a foul current or enter a tight marina under power will favour the more powerful installation.
