Alumacraft Fisherman 160 Tiller 2009 vs Alumacraft Tournament Sport 175 2004 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 Tiller 2009 or the Alumacraft Tournament Sport 175 2004?
For trailering, the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 Tiller 2009 has the edge at 6 lbs dry weight versus 153 lbs for the Alumacraft Tournament Sport 175 2004. 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 Tournament Sport 175 2004 has a documented max rating of 175 hp. Engine specifications for the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 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 Fisherman 160 Tiller 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Alumacraft Tournament Sport 175 2004 is certified for 6.

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.
