Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2009 vs Alumacraft MV 1448 2004 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2009 or the Alumacraft MV 1448 2004?
For trailering, the Alumacraft MV 1448 2004 has the edge at 24 lbs dry weight versus 465 lbs for the Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?
The Alumacraft MV 1448 2004 has a documented max rating of 25 hp. Engine specifications for the Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2009 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 3 passengers, while the Alumacraft MV 1448 2004 is certified for 5.

The Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2009 measures 65" wide, compared to 7" for the Alumacraft MV 1448 2004. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
