Matching a other Alumacraft Fisherman 160 Tiller 2010 against a deep vee Alumacraft Trophy 185 2013 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Alumacraft Fisherman 160 Tiller 2010 at 16,3 ft versus Alumacraft Trophy 185 2013 at 18,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Alumacraft Trophy 185 2013 tips the scales at 178 lbs — 172 lbs less than the Alumacraft Fisherman 160 Tiller 2010 at 6 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.
