Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Tiara Yachts 3600 Coronet 2013 vs Tiara Yachts 3600 Open 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Tiara Yachts 3600 Coronet 2013 against a modified vee Tiara Yachts 3600 Open 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Tiara Yachts 3600 Coronet 2013 at 38,9 ft versus Tiara Yachts 3600 Open 2008 at 36,0 ft. At 191 lbs and 191 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Tiara Yachts 3600 Open 2008 has a 417-hp advantage over the Tiara Yachts 3600 Coronet 2013's 8-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 3600 Coronet 2013 carries 35 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Tiara Yachts 3600 Open 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 11 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 3600 Coronet 2013 at 38,9 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Tiara Yachts 3600 Open 2008 at 36,0 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.
