Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tiara Yachts 3100 Open 2012 vs Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Tiara Yachts 3100 Open 2012 against a modified vee Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran 2008 measures 57,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 24,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tiara Yachts 3100 Open 2012 at 33,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tiara Yachts 3100 Open 2012 tips the scales at 13 225 lbs — 12 790 lbs more than the Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran 2008 at 435 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 435 hp, the Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran 2008 has a 60-hp advantage over the Tiara Yachts 3100 Open 2012's 375-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran 2008 carries 65 gallons versus 21 gallons in the Tiara Yachts 3100 Open 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Tiara Yachts 3100 Open 2012 is rated for up to 10 people. Passenger data for the Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran 2008 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran 2008 at 57,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Tiara Yachts 3100 Open 2012 at 33,0 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.
