The Sunsation F-4 2007 measures 43,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Sunsation 36 S 2012 at 36,0 feet (2012). At 79 lbs and 1 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.
