When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the War Eagle 23 Foot - 2372LDSV 2007 and the War Eagle 754VS 2012 are flat designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The War Eagle 23 Foot - 2372LDSV 2007 measures 23,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 5,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the War Eagle 754VS 2012 at 17,6 feet (2012). At 773 lbs and 812 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 75 hp for the War Eagle 23 Foot - 2372LDSV 2007 and 60 hp for the War Eagle 754VS 2012. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The War Eagle 23 Foot - 2372LDSV 2007 is rated for 7 passengers, while the War Eagle 754VS 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the War Eagle 23 Foot - 2372LDSV 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the War Eagle 23 Foot - 2372LDSV 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The War Eagle 754VS 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
