Both the Marquis Yachts 560 2012 and the Marquis Yachts Marquis 55 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Marquis Yachts 560 2012 at 57,4 ft versus Marquis Yachts Marquis 55 2008 at 57,0 ft. At 62 000 lbs and 62 000 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.
