Matching a deep vee Tiara Yachts 3900 Coronet 2013 against a modified vee Tiara Yachts 3900 Open 2009 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 3900 Coronet 2013 at 41,9 ft versus Tiara Yachts 3900 Open 2009 at 39,0 ft. At 245 lbs and 245 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 600 hp, the Tiara Yachts 3900 Open 2009 has a 120-hp advantage over the Tiara Yachts 3900 Coronet 2013's 480-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 535 gal and 535 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 12 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.
