Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Glacier Bay 3470 Cuddy 2011 vs Glacier Bay 3480 Ocean Runner 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Glacier Bay 3470 Cuddy 2011 vs Glacier Bay 3480 Ocean Runner 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Glacier Bay 3470 Cuddy 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Glacier Bay 3480 Ocean Runner 2006 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Glacier Bay 3470 Cuddy 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Glacier Bay 3470 Cuddy 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 37,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Glacier Bay 3480 Ocean Runner 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
