When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 and the SeaArk DuckHawk 2072SS 2012 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 measures 20,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 18,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the SeaArk DuckHawk 2072SS 2012 at 2,0 feet (2012). At 81 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 — 90 hp for the SeaArk 2072MV Super Jon 2013 and 90 hp for the SeaArk DuckHawk 2072SS 2012. 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.

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.
