Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 vs Whittley SL2400 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 vs Whittley SL2400 2008 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 Cruiser 660 2007 at 24,0 ft versus Whittley SL2400 2008 at 24,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Whittley SL2400 2008 tips the scales at 2 866 lbs — 2 812 lbs less 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 SL2400 2008 tops out at 250 hp. Engine specs for the Whittley Cruiser 660 2007 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Whittley SL2400 2008 carries 66 gallons versus 54 gallons in the Whittley Cruiser 660 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 SL2400 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 SL2400 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Whittley SL2400 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 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.
