When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Marquis Yachts 59 Markham Edition 2007 and the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 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?
The Marquis Yachts 59 Markham Edition 2007 carries a rated maximum of 1 085 hp. Engine data for the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2012 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 2012 carries 13 gallons versus 8 gallons in the Marquis Yachts 59 Markham Edition 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

The Marquis Yachts 59 Markham Edition 2007 at 59,0 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.
