Matching a other Action Craft 1622 FlyFisher 2008 against a modified vee Action Craft 1802 FlatsPro 2013 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 — Action Craft 1622 FlyFisher 2008 at 16,0 ft versus Action Craft 1802 FlatsPro 2013 at 18,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Action Craft 1802 FlatsPro 2013 tips the scales at 1 025 lbs — 230 lbs less than the Action Craft 1622 FlyFisher 2008 at 795 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Action Craft 1802 FlatsPro 2013 has a 35-hp advantage over the Action Craft 1622 FlyFisher 2008's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Action Craft 1622 FlyFisher 2008 carries 26 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Action Craft 1802 FlatsPro 2013. 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 Action Craft 1802 FlatsPro 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Action Craft 1622 FlyFisher 2008 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Action Craft 1802 FlatsPro 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Action Craft 1802 FlatsPro 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Action Craft 1622 FlyFisher 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
