The Doral 245 Sunquest 2008 is a modified-V design and the Doral Mediterra 2008 is a deep-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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Doral Mediterra 2008 measures 40,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 15,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Doral 245 Sunquest 2008 at 25,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Doral Mediterra 2008 tips the scales at 25 000 lbs - 20 050 lbs less than the Doral 245 Sunquest 2008 at 4 950 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Doral Mediterra 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Doral 245 Sunquest 2008 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Doral Mediterra 2008 could be the deciding factor.
