Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2007 vs Ocean Alexander 98 Motoryacht 2007 — Which Semi Displacement Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2007 and the Ocean Alexander 98 Motoryacht 2007 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 Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2007 measures 52,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 51,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ocean Alexander 98 Motoryacht 2007 at 1,0 feet (2007). At 36 lbs and 24 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 Ocean Alexander 98 Motoryacht 2007 is rated for 30 passengers, while the Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2007 caps at 15. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ocean Alexander 98 Motoryacht 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Ocean Alexander 98 Motoryacht 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 30 passengers and at 1,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 15 that costs less to run day-to-day.
