SeaArk 1872SS 2010 vs SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee SeaArk 1872SS 2010 against a tunnel SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — SeaArk 1872SS 2010 at 18,0 ft versus SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 at 20,1 ft. At 65 lbs and 81 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 80 hp for the SeaArk 1872SS 2010 and 90 hp for the SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The SeaArk 1872SS 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the SeaArk 1872SS 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the SeaArk 1872SS 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 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 1872SS 2010 vs SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the SeaArk 1872SS 2010 or the SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013?
The SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 is the longer of the two at 20,1 feet overall. The SeaArk 1872SS 2010 comes in at 18,0 feet, making it roughly 2,1 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the SeaArk 1872SS 2010 or the SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013?
For trailering, the SeaArk 1872SS 2010 has the edge at 65 lbs dry weight versus 81 lbs for the SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013. 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.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 is rated to a maximum of 90 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The SeaArk 1872SS 2010 tops out at 80 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The SeaArk 1872SS 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 11 passengers, while the SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 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 1872SS 2010 and SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 share an 95 in. (2.41 m) 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 1872SS 2010 and SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the SeaArk 1872SS 2010 and the SeaArk 2072MVT Super Tunnel Jon 2013 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.
