Matching a modified vee Fisher 2072 SC 2009 against a deep vee Fisher V1466 Riveted Deep V 2008 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Fisher V1466 Riveted Deep V 2008 measures 14,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 12,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Fisher 2072 SC 2009 at 2,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Fisher V1466 Riveted Deep V 2008 tips the scales at 255 lbs — 244 lbs less than the Fisher 2072 SC 2009 at 11 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 115 hp, the Fisher 2072 SC 2009 has a 90-hp advantage over the Fisher V1466 Riveted Deep V 2008's 25-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 2072 SC 2009 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Fisher V1466 Riveted Deep V 2008 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Fisher 2072 SC 2009 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Fisher 2072 SC 2009 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 10 lbs per hp for the Fisher V1466 Riveted Deep V 2008. 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.
Bottom line: Choose the Fisher 2072 SC 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Fisher V1466 Riveted Deep V 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
