Whittley CW2100 2009 vs Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

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.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 and its 250-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Whittley CW2100 2009 with its 225-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Whittley CW2100 2009 vs Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Whittley CW2100 2009 or the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007?
The Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 is the longer of the two at 23,0 feet overall. The Whittley CW2100 2009 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Whittley CW2100 2009 or the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007?
For trailering, the Whittley CW2100 2009 has the edge at 167 lbs dry weight versus 6 328 lbs for the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 is rated to a maximum of 250 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Whittley CW2100 2009 tops out at 225 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Whittley CW2100 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 measures 96" wide, compared to 92" for the Whittley CW2100 2009. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Whittley CW2100 2009 or the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007?
The Whittley CW2100 2009 has the bigger tank at 59 gallons, versus 55 gallons on the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007. That 4-gallon difference translates to roughly 12–20 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Whittley CW2100 2009 and Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Whittley CW2100 2009 and the Whittley Sea Legend 700 2007 are built by Whittley. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
