Whittley CR2380 2008 vs Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Whittley CR2380 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Whittley CR2380 2008 at 23,0 ft versus Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 at 24,0 ft.

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 CR2380 2008 carries a rated maximum of 220 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.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 55 gal and 54 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Whittley CR2380 2008 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Whittley CR2380 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Whittley CR2380 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
