Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Marquis Yachts 600 2009 vs Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 2009 — Which Semi Displacement Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Marquis Yachts 600 2009 and the Marquis Yachts 720 Fly Bridge 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 Fly Bridge 2009 measures 72,1 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 12,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Marquis Yachts 600 2009 at 59,7 feet (2009). At 64 lbs and 12 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.
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 600 2009 caps at 16. 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 600 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 16 that costs less to run day-to-day.
