Matching a modified vee SeaArk 2472 FX Deluxe SC 2013 against a tunnel SeaArk Predator 200FX 2010 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 2472 FX Deluxe SC 2013 measures 24,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the SeaArk Predator 200FX 2010 at 20,5 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the SeaArk Predator 200FX 2010 tips the scales at 1 473 lbs — 1 460 lbs less than the SeaArk 2472 FX Deluxe SC 2013 at 13 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the SeaArk Predator 200FX 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the SeaArk 2472 FX Deluxe SC 2013's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The SeaArk Predator 200FX 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the SeaArk 2472 FX Deluxe SC 2013 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the SeaArk Predator 200FX 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the SeaArk Predator 200FX 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 20,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The SeaArk 2472 FX Deluxe SC 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
