Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Marquis Yachts 50 LS 2007 vs Marquis Yachts Marquis 70 Tri-Deck 2008: Which Semi-Displacement Boat Fits Your Needs?
Both the Marquis Yachts 50 LS 2007 and the Marquis Yachts Marquis 70 Tri-Deck 2008 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?
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 1 676 hp, the Marquis Yachts Marquis 70 Tri-Deck 2008 has a 961-hp advantage over the Marquis Yachts 50 LS 2007's 715-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Marquis Yachts Marquis 70 Tri-Deck 2008 carries 1 300 gallons versus 600 gallons in the Marquis Yachts 50 LS 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Marquis Yachts Marquis 70 Tri-Deck 2008 at 72,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Marquis Yachts 50 LS 2007 at 51,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
