Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013 vs Chris-Craft Silver Bullet 20 Limited Edition 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013 against a deep vee Chris-Craft Silver Bullet 20 Limited Edition 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 Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013 measures 27,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 9,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Chris-Craft Silver Bullet 20 Limited Edition 2010 at 18,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013 tips the scales at 8 121 lbs — 5 208 lbs more than the Chris-Craft Silver Bullet 20 Limited Edition 2010 at 2 913 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 Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013 carries a rated maximum of 375 hp. Engine data for the Chris-Craft Silver Bullet 20 Limited Edition 2010 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Chris-Craft Silver Bullet 20 Limited Edition 2010 carries 34 gallons versus 15 gallons in the Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013. 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 Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Chris-Craft Silver Bullet 20 Limited Edition 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Chris-Craft Corsair 28 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 27,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Chris-Craft Silver Bullet 20 Limited Edition 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
