When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Avon Rover Rib Series 2009 and the Avon SE 320 Jet SC dl 2009 are inflatable rigid designs with inflatable construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Avon Rover Rib Series 2009 at 9,2 ft versus Avon SE 320 Jet SC dl 2009 at 10,8 ft.

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.
