When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Marquis Yachts 560 2011 and the Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2009 are semi displacement designs with fiberglass construction — 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2009 measures 72,1 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 14,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Marquis Yachts 560 2011 at 57,4 feet (2011). At 62 lbs and 109 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
