Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Fisher 1436 Lite Riveted Jon 2004 vs Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Fisher 1436 Lite Riveted Jon 2004 vs Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 135 hp, the Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 has a 125-hp advantage over the Fisher 1436 Lite Riveted Jon 2004's 10-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 Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Fisher 1436 Lite Riveted Jon 2004 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Fisher 1436 Lite Riveted Jon 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
