Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Alumacraft MV Tex Special 2005 vs Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2000 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Alumacraft MV Tex Special 2005 vs Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2000 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Alumacraft MV Tex Special 2005 carries a rated maximum of 60 hp. Engine data for the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2000 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2000 carries 22 gallons versus 9 gallons in the Alumacraft MV Tex Special 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Alumacraft MV Tex Special 2005 and Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2000 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
