Matching a modified vee SeaArk 1660MV Super Jon 2013 against a tunnel SeaArk Tunnel Jon 2072MVT 2008 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 SeaArk 1660MV Super Jon 2013 measures 16,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the SeaArk Tunnel Jon 2072MVT 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the SeaArk 1660MV Super Jon 2013 tips the scales at 475 lbs — 394 lbs more than the SeaArk Tunnel Jon 2072MVT 2008 at 81 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 90 hp, the SeaArk Tunnel Jon 2072MVT 2008 has a 40-hp advantage over the SeaArk 1660MV Super Jon 2013's 50-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The SeaArk Tunnel Jon 2072MVT 2008 is rated for 13 passengers, while the SeaArk 1660MV Super Jon 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the SeaArk Tunnel Jon 2072MVT 2008 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The SeaArk Tunnel Jon 2072MVT 2008 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 10 lbs per hp for the SeaArk 1660MV Super Jon 2013. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
Bottom line: Choose the SeaArk Tunnel Jon 2072MVT 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The SeaArk 1660MV Super Jon 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
