Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008 vs Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008 vs Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2009 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.

The Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008 carries a rated maximum of 600 hp. Engine data for the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2009 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2009 carries 1 300 gallons versus 300 gallons in the Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2009 is rated for 20 passengers, while the Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 20 passengers and at 72,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Marquis Yachts 40 SC 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
