When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Ocean Alexander 64 Motoryacht 2008 and the Ocean Alexander 88 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 88 Motoryacht 2007 measures 88,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 19,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ocean Alexander 64 Motoryacht 2008 at 69,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Ocean Alexander 64 Motoryacht 2008 tips the scales at 753 lbs — 545 lbs more than the Ocean Alexander 88 Motoryacht 2007 at 208 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Ocean Alexander 88 Motoryacht 2007 is rated for 26 passengers, while the Ocean Alexander 64 Motoryacht 2008 caps at 21. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ocean Alexander 88 Motoryacht 2007 could be the deciding factor.
