When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Meyers Boat Company Explorer 12 2007 and the Meyers Boat Company Fisherman 10 2007 are flat designs with aluminum 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 Meyers Boat Company Explorer 12 2007 measures 12,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 11,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Meyers Boat Company Fisherman 10 2007 at 1,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Meyers Boat Company Fisherman 10 2007 tips the scales at 116 lbs — 107 lbs less than the Meyers Boat Company Explorer 12 2007 at 9 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Meyers Boat Company Fisherman 10 2007 tops out at 5 hp. Engine specs for the Meyers Boat Company Explorer 12 2007 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

Bottom line: The Meyers Boat Company Explorer 12 2007 at 12,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Meyers Boat Company Fisherman 10 2007 at 1,0 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.
