SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 vs SeaArk Big Easy 2008 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 and the SeaArk Big Easy 2008 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 at 24,0 ft versus SeaArk Big Easy 2008 at 24,0 ft. At 93 lbs and 186 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the SeaArk Big Easy 2008 has a 95-hp advantage over the SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013's 130-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 Big Easy 2008 is rated for 12 passengers, while the SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 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 Big Easy 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the SeaArk Big Easy 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 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.

SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 vs SeaArk Big Easy 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 or the SeaArk Big Easy 2008?
The SeaArk Big Easy 2008 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 comes in at 24,0 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 or the SeaArk Big Easy 2008?
For trailering, the SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 has the edge at 93 lbs dry weight versus 186 lbs for the SeaArk Big Easy 2008. 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.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The SeaArk Big Easy 2008 is rated to a maximum of 225 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 tops out at 130 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the SeaArk Big Easy 2008 is certified for 12. 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 2472MV Super Jon 2013 and SeaArk Big Easy 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 2472MV Super Jon 2013 and SeaArk Big Easy 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the SeaArk 2472MV Super Jon 2013 and the SeaArk Big Easy 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.
