SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 vs SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a tunnel SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 against a modified vee SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 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 DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 measures 24,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 3,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 at 20,1 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 2072MVJT 2012 and 90 hp for the SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008. 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 DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 is rated for 13 passengers, while the SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 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 2072MVJT 2012 vs SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 or the SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008?
The SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 comes in at 20,1 feet, making it roughly 3,9 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 or the SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008?
For trailering, the SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 has the edge at 81 lbs dry weight versus 81 lbs for the SeaArk 2072MVJT 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.
How many people can each boat hold?
The SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 is certified for 13. 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 2072MVJT 2012 and SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 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 2072MVJT 2012 and SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the SeaArk 2072MVJT 2012 and the SeaArk DuckHawk 2472SS 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.
