Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Whittley CR2080 2008 vs Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Whittley CR2080 2008 vs Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 measures 24,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 22,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Whittley CR2080 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Whittley CR2080 2008 tips the scales at 1 822 lbs — 1 768 lbs more than the Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 at 54 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 Whittley CR2080 2008 carries a rated maximum of 175 hp. Engine data for the Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 carries 54 gallons versus 26 gallons in the Whittley CR2080 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 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: The Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 at 24,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Whittley CR2080 2008 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
