When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Marquis Yachts 690 2012 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Marquis Yachts 690 2012 at 70,0 ft versus Marquis Yachts 720 Tri-Deck 2009 at 72,1 ft. At 94 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.
