Both the Bar Crusher 585HT Hard Top 2027 and the Bar Crusher 670C Cuddy Cabin 2027 are deep-V designs, both built in aluminium, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh? The spec sheets describe the hulls a little differently (the first as plate aluminium deep-v / delta flare, the second as plate aluminium deep-v), so it is worth asking the builder how the two compare on the water.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Bar Crusher 585HT Hard Top 2027 at 19,2 ft versus Bar Crusher 670C Cuddy Cabin 2027 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Bar Crusher 670C Cuddy Cabin 2027 tips the scales at 3 924 lbs - 771 lbs less than the Bar Crusher 585HT Hard Top 2027 at 3 153 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Bar Crusher 670C Cuddy Cabin 2027 has a 60-hp advantage over the Bar Crusher 585HT Hard Top 2027's 140-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Bar Crusher 670C Cuddy Cabin 2027 carries 61 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Bar Crusher 585HT Hard Top 2027. 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 Bar Crusher 670C Cuddy Cabin 2027 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Bar Crusher 585HT Hard Top 2027 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Bar Crusher 670C Cuddy Cabin 2027 could be the deciding factor.
