When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the SeaArk 2472 C.U.B. 2009 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 2472 C.U.B. 2009 measures 24,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 22,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the SeaArk DuckHawk 2072SS 2012 at 2,0 feet (2012). At 112 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.
The SeaArk DuckHawk 2072SS 2012 tops out at 90 hp. Engine specs for the SeaArk 2472 C.U.B. 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The SeaArk 2472 C.U.B. 2009 is rated for 7 passengers, while the SeaArk DuckHawk 2072SS 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 2472 C.U.B. 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the SeaArk 2472 C.U.B. 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The SeaArk DuckHawk 2072SS 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.
