Tiara Yachts 4800 Convertible 2009 vs Tiara Yachts EX 60 2023 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Tiara Yachts 4800 Convertible 2009 vs Tiara Yachts EX 60 2023 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.

Engine data for the Tiara Yachts EX 60 2023 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Tiara Yachts EX 60 2023 carries 7 gallons versus 1 gallons in the Tiara Yachts 4800 Convertible 2009. 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 EX 60 2023 is rated for 18 passengers, while the Tiara Yachts 4800 Convertible 2009 caps at 15.
