The Whittley CR2380 2009 vs Whittley Sea Legend 700 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 2009 at 23,0 ft versus Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 at 23,0 ft.

Rated to 250 hp, the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 has a 30-hp advantage over the Whittley CR2380 2009's 220-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
