When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2010 and the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW FF 2013 are modified vee designs with aluminum 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2010 measures 16,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW FF 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW FF 2013 tips the scales at 1 175 lbs — 710 lbs less than the Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2010 at 465 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 MV 2072 AW FF 2013 tops out at 130 hp. Engine specs for the Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2010 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 MV 2072 AW FF 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Alumacraft Angler Tiller 2010 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW FF 2013 could be the deciding factor.
