Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Whittley Cruisemaster 700 2007 vs Whittley Sea Legend 730 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Whittley Cruisemaster 700 2007 vs Whittley Sea Legend 730 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 Cruisemaster 700 2007 at 24,0 ft versus Whittley Sea Legend 730 2007 at 25,0 ft. At 595 lbs and 595 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 320 hp, the Whittley Cruisemaster 700 2007 has a 95-hp advantage over the Whittley Sea Legend 730 2007's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Whittley Cruisemaster 700 2007 carries 63 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Whittley Sea Legend 730 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Whittley Sea Legend 730 2007 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Whittley Cruisemaster 700 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 Sea Legend 730 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Whittley Sea Legend 730 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 25,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Whittley Cruisemaster 700 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.
