Both the Cruisers Yachts 455 Express Motoryacht 2011 and the Cruisers Yachts 48 Cantius 2011 are semi-displacement designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Cruisers Yachts 455 Express Motoryacht 2011 at 45,5 ft versus Cruisers Yachts 48 Cantius 2011 at 48,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Cruisers Yachts 455 Express Motoryacht 2011 tips the scales at 36 000 lbs - 3 300 lbs more than the Cruisers Yachts 48 Cantius 2011 at 32 700 lbs. 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.
