The Whittley CW2100 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 CW2100 2009 at 21,0 ft versus Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 at 23,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 tips the scales at 6 328 lbs — 6 161 lbs less than the Whittley CW2100 2009 at 167 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 has a 25-hp advantage over the Whittley CW2100 2009'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 CW2100 2009 carries 59 gallons versus 55 gallons in the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007. 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.
