Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Alumacraft 1236 2004 vs Alumacraft Tournament Pro 175 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Alumacraft 1236 2004 vs Alumacraft Tournament Pro 175 2005 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.
The Alumacraft Tournament Pro 175 2005 tops out at 90 hp. Engine specs for the Alumacraft 1236 2004 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumacraft Tournament Pro 175 2005 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Alumacraft 1236 2004 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 175 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 175 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumacraft 1236 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
