De Luxe vs Pro: the short version
- The De Luxe and Pro are close in length (12.1 ft3.70 m vs 12.1 ft3.70 m ).
- The De Luxe is heavier, displacing about 39% more, which usually means a steadier but slower-to-accelerate hull.
- By the capsize screening formula the Pro rates better for offshore work (2.53 vs 2.57).
Ratios are guidelines computed from published specs; condition, layout and gear matter as much as the numbers.
