Matching a tunnel SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 against a modified vee SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — SeaArk BayFisher MVJT 2012 at 20,1 ft versus SeaArk Super Jon 2272MV 2008 at 22,0 ft. At 119 lbs and 87 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.
