Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Matching a flat Alumacraft 1236 2006 against a deep vee Alumacraft Classic Camp 165 Tiller 2010 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Alumacraft Classic Camp 165 Tiller 2010 measures 16,4 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 4,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Alumacraft 1236 2006 at 12,0 feet (2006).

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.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumacraft Classic Camp 165 Tiller 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Alumacraft Classic Camp 165 Tiller 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 16,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
