Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Fish-Rite Fishmaster 20 ft. 2007 vs Fish-Rite Power Drifter Series 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a flat Fish-Rite Fishmaster 20 ft. 2007 against a planing hull Fish-Rite Power Drifter Series 2009 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Fish-Rite Fishmaster 20 ft. 2007 has a 130-hp advantage over the Fish-Rite Power Drifter Series 2009's 70-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fish-Rite Fishmaster 20 ft. 2007 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Fish-Rite Power Drifter Series 2009 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fish-Rite Fishmaster 20 ft. 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Fish-Rite Fishmaster 20 ft. 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Fish-Rite Power Drifter Series 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
