Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Beavertail 212 Haul 2008 vs Beavertail Phantom 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a tunnel Beavertail 212 Haul 2008 against a catamaran Beavertail Phantom 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
The Beavertail 212 Haul 2008 carries a rated maximum of 250 hp. Engine data for the Beavertail Phantom 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Beavertail 212 Haul 2008 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Beavertail Phantom 2013 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beavertail 212 Haul 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beavertail 212 Haul 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Beavertail Phantom 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
