Beavertail 20 ft. With 72 in. Wide Bottom 2010 vs Beavertail Phantom 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beavertail 20 ft. With 72 in. Wide Bottom 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beavertail 20 ft. With 72 in. Wide Bottom 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
