The Cruisers Yachts 447 Sport Sedan 2012 is a deep-V design and the Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius 2013 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Cruisers Yachts 447 Sport Sedan 2012 at 45,2 ft versus Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius 2013 at 45,0 ft. At 29 500 lbs and 29 500 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 435 hp for the Cruisers Yachts 447 Sport Sedan 2012 and 435 hp for the Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Cruisers Yachts 447 Sport Sedan 2012 carries 370 gallons versus 362 gallons in the Cruisers Yachts 45 Cantius 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
