Matching a tunnel SeaArk BayFisher MVT 2011 against a modified vee SeaArk CRX 186 2011 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 MVT 2011 at 20,1 ft versus SeaArk CRX 186 2011 at 18,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the SeaArk BayFisher MVT 2011 tips the scales at 119 lbs — 108 lbs more than the SeaArk CRX 186 2011 at 11 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.
