Matching a modified vee SeaArk 1660MV 2009 against a tunnel SeaArk Predator 200 AK (CC) 2012 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 Predator 200 AK (CC) 2012 measures 20,5 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the SeaArk 1660MV 2009 at 16,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the SeaArk 1660MV 2009 tips the scales at 475 lbs — 330 lbs more than the SeaArk Predator 200 AK (CC) 2012 at 145 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 200 hp, the SeaArk Predator 200 AK (CC) 2012 has a 150-hp advantage over the SeaArk 1660MV 2009's 50-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The SeaArk Predator 200 AK (CC) 2012 at 20,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The SeaArk 1660MV 2009 at 16,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
