SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 vs SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 against a tunnel SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 at 20,1 ft versus SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 at 20,1 ft. At 81 lbs and 119 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 115 hp, the SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 has a 25-hp advantage over the SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013's 90-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: Performance buyers should lean toward the SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 and its 115-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 with its 90-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 vs SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 or the SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012?
The SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 is the longer of the two at 20,1 feet overall. The SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 comes in at 20,1 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 or the SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012?
For trailering, the SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 has the edge at 81 lbs dry weight versus 119 lbs for the SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012. 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 BayFisher MVJT 2012 is rated to a maximum of 115 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 tops out at 90 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 2072MV Super Jon 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 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 2072MV Super Jon 2013 and SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 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 2072MV Super Jon 2013 and SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 and the SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 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.
