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.
The Carver Yachts 52 Voyager 2007 tops out at 675 hp. Engine specs for the Carver Yachts 43 Super Sport 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Carver Yachts 52 Voyager 2007 carries 8 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Carver Yachts 43 Super Sport 2010.

The Carver Yachts 43 Super Sport 2010 at 43,6 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
