Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2008 vs Ocean Alexander 70E 2017 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2008 vs Ocean Alexander 70E 2017 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 Ocean Alexander 70E 2017 tops out at 1 200 hp. Engine specs for the Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Ocean Alexander 70E 2017 carries 104 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2008. 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 Ocean Alexander 70E 2017 is rated for 21 passengers, while the Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2008 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 70E 2017 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Ocean Alexander 70E 2017 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 21 passengers and at 70,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Ocean Alexander 52 Sedan 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 15 that costs less to run day-to-day.
