Matching a flat SeaArk 2472 C.U.B. 2012 against a modified vee SeaArk BayRunner MVJT 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.

At 112 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 SeaArk BayRunner MVJT 2008 tops out at 140 hp. Engine specs for the SeaArk 2472 C.U.B. 2012 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the SeaArk BayRunner MVJT 2008 could be the deciding factor.
