Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2006 vs Tiara Yachts 3900 Convertible 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2006 vs Tiara Yachts 3900 Convertible 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Tiara Yachts 3900 Convertible 2011 measures 41,6 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 6,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2006 at 35,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tiara Yachts 3900 Convertible 2011 tips the scales at 30 125 lbs — 28 530 lbs less than the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2006 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 3900 Convertible 2011 tops out at 550 hp. Engine specs for the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2006 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tiara Yachts 3900 Convertible 2011 carries 475 gallons versus 256 gallons in the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2006. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Tiara Yachts 3900 Convertible 2011 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2006 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Tiara Yachts 3900 Convertible 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tiara Yachts 3900 Convertible 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 41,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
