Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 vs Tiara Yachts 4700 Sovran 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 against a modified vee Tiara Yachts 4700 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 4700 Sovran 2008 measures 43,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 7,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 at 35,1 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Tiara Yachts 4700 Sovran 2008 tips the scales at 3 315 lbs — 1 720 lbs less 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 4700 Sovran 2008 tops out at 715 hp. Engine specs for the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tiara Yachts 4700 Sovran 2008 carries 526 gallons versus 256 gallons in the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011. 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 4700 Sovran 2008 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 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 4700 Sovran 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Tiara Yachts 4700 Sovran 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 43,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Tiara Yachts 3200 Open 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
