Alumacraft Pro 165 2013 vs Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185CS 2001 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Alumacraft Pro 165 2013 or the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185CS 2001?
For trailering, the Alumacraft Pro 165 2013 has the edge at 83 lbs dry weight versus 1 485 lbs for the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185CS 2001. 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 Pro 165 2013 has a documented max rating of 60 hp. Engine specifications for the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185CS 2001 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 Pro 165 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 4 passengers, while the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185CS 2001 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185CS 2001 measures 96" wide, compared to 5" for the Alumacraft Pro 165 2013. 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.
Are the Alumacraft Pro 165 2013 and Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185CS 2001 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Alumacraft Pro 165 2013 and the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185CS 2001 are built by Alumacraft. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
