Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Marquis Yachts 600 2010 vs Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2012 — Which Semi Displacement Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Marquis Yachts 600 2010 and the Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2012 measures 72,1 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 12,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Marquis Yachts 600 2010 at 59,7 feet (2010).
