When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Action Craft 1910 2013 and the Action Craft 2020 FlatsMaster 2011 are modified vee designs with fiberglass 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Action Craft 1910 2013 at 19,4 ft versus Action Craft 2020 FlatsMaster 2011 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Action Craft 2020 FlatsMaster 2011 tips the scales at 1 305 lbs — 1 140 lbs less than the Action Craft 1910 2013 at 165 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 250 hp, the Action Craft 2020 FlatsMaster 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Action Craft 1910 2013's 225-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 6 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Action Craft 1910 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Action Craft 2020 FlatsMaster 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Action Craft 1910 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Action Craft 1910 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 19,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Action Craft 2020 FlatsMaster 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
