SeaArk 1872MV 2006 vs SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The SeaArk 1872MV 2006 vs SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The SeaArk 1872MV 2006 measures 18,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 16,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). At 75 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 1872MV 2006 carries a rated maximum of 80 hp. Engine data for the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 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 1872MV 2006 is rated for 12 passengers, while the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the SeaArk 1872MV 2006 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the SeaArk 1872MV 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 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 1872MV 2006 vs SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the SeaArk 1872MV 2006 or the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006?
The SeaArk 1872MV 2006 is the longer of the two at 18,0 feet overall. The SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 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 1872MV 2006 or the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006?
For trailering, the SeaArk 1872MV 2006 has the edge at 75 lbs dry weight versus 87 lbs for the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006. 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 1872MV 2006 has a documented max rating of 80 hp. Engine specifications for the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 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 1872MV 2006 is Coast Guard rated for 12 passengers, while the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 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.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the SeaArk 1872MV 2006 and SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 share an 95 in beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Are the SeaArk 1872MV 2006 and SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the SeaArk 1872MV 2006 and the SeaArk 2072 C.U.B. 2006 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.
