Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2001 vs Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2001 vs Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 2006 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 Tournament Pro 185 2006 tops out at 100 hp. Engine specs for the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2001 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 2006 carries 41 gallons versus 22 gallons in the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2001. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 2006 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2001 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Alumacraft Tournament Pro 185 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alumacraft Tournament Pro 170CS 2001 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
