Matching a modified vee Alumacraft Angler SC 2009 against a flat Alumacraft Riveted Jon 1036 2011 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 Angler SC 2009 measures 16,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 15,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Alumacraft Riveted Jon 1036 2011 at 1,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Alumacraft Angler SC 2009 tips the scales at 465 lbs — 360 lbs more than the Alumacraft Riveted Jon 1036 2011 at 105 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 Alumacraft Riveted Jon 1036 2011 tops out at 3 hp. Engine specs for the Alumacraft Angler SC 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
Both boats are rated for 3 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Alumacraft Angler SC 2009 at 16,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Alumacraft Riveted Jon 1036 2011 at 1,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
