Matching a deep vee Sea Ray 370 Venture™ 2013 against a semi displacement Sea Ray 52 Sedan Bridge 2009 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Sea Ray 52 Sedan Bridge 2009 measures 57,1 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 19,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sea Ray 370 Venture™ 2013 at 37,2 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Ray 52 Sedan Bridge 2009 tips the scales at 40 267 lbs — 24 835 lbs less than the Sea Ray 370 Venture™ 2013 at 15 432 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 765 hp, the Sea Ray 52 Sedan Bridge 2009 has a 465-hp advantage over the Sea Ray 370 Venture™ 2013's 300-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Ray 370 Venture™ 2013 carries 222 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Sea Ray 52 Sedan Bridge 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
