When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Beavertail Ambush 2011 and the Beavertail Final Attack 2011 are other designs with fiberglass 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Beavertail Ambush 2011 measures 13,8 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Beavertail Final Attack 2011 at 8,0 feet (2011). At 2 lbs and 75 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Beavertail Ambush 2011 carries a rated maximum of 7 hp. Engine data for the Beavertail Final Attack 2011 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 Ambush 2011 is rated for 4 passengers, while the Beavertail Final Attack 2011 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beavertail Ambush 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beavertail Ambush 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 4 passengers and at 13,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Beavertail Final Attack 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 2 that costs less to run day-to-day.
