Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MB F24 Tomcat 2016 vs MB Sports B52V 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The MB F24 Tomcat 2016 vs MB Sports B52V 2009 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 400 hp, the MB F24 Tomcat 2016 has a 57-hp advantage over the MB Sports B52V 2009's 343-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the MB F24 Tomcat 2016 carries 65 gallons versus 45 gallons in the MB Sports B52V 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The MB Sports B52V 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the MB F24 Tomcat 2016 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the MB Sports B52V 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MB Sports B52V 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 21,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MB F24 Tomcat 2016 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
