Matching a pontoon Fisher 18 Spirit 2009 against a modified vee Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Fisher 18 Spirit 2009 at 19,0 ft versus Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Fisher 18 Spirit 2009 tips the scales at 1 174 lbs — 859 lbs more than the Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007 at 315 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 — 50 hp for the Fisher 18 Spirit 2009 and 40 hp for the Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007. 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.
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Fisher 18 Spirit 2009 at 19,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Fisher V1667 Riveted Deep V 2007 at 16,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
