Tiara Yachts 3000 Open 2009 vs Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Tiara Yachts 3000 Open 2009 against a deep vee Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 measures 35,1 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 32,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tiara Yachts 3000 Open 2009 at 3,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tiara Yachts 3000 Open 2009 tips the scales at 13 225 lbs — 11 630 lbs more than the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 at 1 595 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.

The Tiara Yachts 3000 Open 2009 carries a rated maximum of 385 hp. Engine data for the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 carries 256 gallons versus 21 gallons in the Tiara Yachts 3000 Open 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 10 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

Bottom line: The Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 at 35,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Tiara Yachts 3000 Open 2009 at 3,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
