SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 vs SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a tunnel SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 against a modified vee SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 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 1860MVT 2009 measures 18,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 16,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). At 5 lbs and 87 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 carries a rated maximum of 60 hp. Engine data for the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 is rated for 7 passengers, while the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 vs SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 or the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008?
The SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 is the longer of the two at 18,0 feet overall. The SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 comes in at 2,0 feet, making it roughly 16,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 or the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008?
For trailering, the SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 has the edge at 5 lbs dry weight versus 87 lbs for the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?
The SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 has a documented max rating of 60 hp. Engine specifications for the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 measures 95" wide, compared to 82" for the SeaArk 1860MVT 2009. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 and SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the SeaArk 1860MVT 2009 and the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2008 are built by SeaArk. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
