The CRN Azteca 2010 vs CRN Blue Eyes 2009 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The CRN Azteca 2010 measures 236,2 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 39,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the CRN Blue Eyes 2009 at 197,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the CRN Blue Eyes 2009 tips the scales at 1 708 583 lbs — 749 572 lbs less than the CRN Azteca 2010 at 959 011 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 CRN Blue Eyes 2009 tops out at 1 455 hp. Engine specs for the CRN Azteca 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The CRN Azteca 2010 is rated for 71 passengers, while the CRN Blue Eyes 2009 caps at 60. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the CRN Azteca 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the CRN Azteca 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 71 passengers and at 236,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The CRN Blue Eyes 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 60 that costs less to run day-to-day.
