Fish-Rite Law Enforcement Boat Series 2009 vs Fish-Rite Performer 20 ft. 2007 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Fish-Rite Law Enforcement Boat Series 2009 and the Fish-Rite Performer 20 ft. 2007 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — 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 Fish-Rite Performer 20 ft. 2007 tops out at 200 hp. Engine specs for the Fish-Rite Law Enforcement Boat Series 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fish-Rite Performer 20 ft. 2007 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Fish-Rite Law Enforcement Boat Series 2009 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fish-Rite Performer 20 ft. 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Fish-Rite Performer 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 Law Enforcement Boat Series 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
