Both the Jetcraft 1975 Extreme Sport 2010 and the Jetcraft 2025 Discovery Stingray 2011 are modified-V designs, both built in aluminium, 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 - Jetcraft 1975 Extreme Sport 2010 at 20,1 ft versus Jetcraft 2025 Discovery Stingray 2011 at 20,1 ft.

Both boats are rated for 6 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
