Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel 2007 vs Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 CS 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel 2007 against a deep vee Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 CS 2010 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 Tournament Pro 185 CS 2010 measures 18,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 16,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). At 85 lbs and 164 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 CS 2010 has a 115-hp advantage over the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel 2007's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 CS 2010 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Alumacraft MV 2072 AW Tunnel 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 CS 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
