SeaArk 2472 SS 2005 vs SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the SeaArk 2472 SS 2005 or the SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008?
The SeaArk 2472 SS 2005 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008 comes in at 22,0 feet, making it roughly 2,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the SeaArk 2472 SS 2005 or the SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008?
For trailering, the SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008 has the edge at 87 lbs dry weight versus 93 lbs for the SeaArk 2472 SS 2005. 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.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?
The SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008 has a documented max rating of 115 hp. Engine specifications for the SeaArk 2472 SS 2005 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The SeaArk 2472 SS 2005 is Coast Guard rated for 16 passengers, while the SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008 is certified for 14. 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 2472 SS 2005 and SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008 share an 95 in. (2.41 m) 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 2472 SS 2005 and SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the SeaArk 2472 SS 2005 and the SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 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.
