The spec sheets list the Extreme 545 Centre Console 2026 as plate alloy centre-console hull and the Extreme 545 Centre Console 2027 as centre-console fishing, so check how each hull rides in the conditions you use before you decide.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Extreme 545 Centre Console 2026 at 18,2 ft versus Extreme 545 Centre Console 2027 at 18,2 ft. At 2 425 lbs and 2 425 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 70 hp for the Extreme 545 Centre Console 2026 and 70 hp for the Extreme 545 Centre Console 2027. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 26 gal and 26 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 4 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
