The Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 vs Fisher 2072 SC All Welded Package 2006 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 measures 17,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 15,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Fisher 2072 SC All Welded Package 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 tips the scales at 1 375 lbs — 1 271 lbs more than the Fisher 2072 SC All Welded Package 2006 at 104 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 135 hp for the Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 and 125 hp for the Fisher 2072 SC All Welded Package 2006. 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Fisher 2072 SC All Welded Package 2006 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fisher 2072 SC All Welded Package 2006 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Fisher 2072 SC All Welded Package 2006 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 10 lbs per hp for the Fisher 170 Pro Avenger Sport 2009. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
