Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 vs Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 or the Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008?

For trailering, the Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 has the edge at 14 lbs dry weight versus 43 lbs for the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?

The Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 has a documented max rating of 150 hp. Engine specifications for the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 were not available in our database — check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.

Q: How many people can each boat hold?

The Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 is Coast Guard rated for 4 passengers, while the Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 is certified for 5. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.

Q: Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?

The Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 measures 98" wide, compared to 67" for the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 or the Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008?

The Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 has the bigger tank at 6 gallons, versus 3 gallons on the Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008. That 3-gallon difference translates to roughly 9–15 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 and Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 and the Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 are built by Fisher. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

The Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 vs Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 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.

The Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 tops out at 150 hp. Engine specs for the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 6 gal and 3 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fisher Hawk 170 WT 2008 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Fisher 14 Avenger T 2000 caps at 4.
