Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 vs Beneteau Gran Turismo 49 Fly 2013 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 and the Beneteau Gran Turismo 49 Fly 2013 are modified vee 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?
The Beneteau Gran Turismo 49 Fly 2013 tops out at 2 hp. Engine specs for the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 carries 317 gallons versus 172 gallons in the Beneteau Gran Turismo 49 Fly 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Beneteau Gran Turismo 49 Fly 2013 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Beneteau Gran Turismo 49 Fly 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Beneteau Gran Turismo 49 Fly 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 51,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Beneteau Flyer 12 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
