When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012 and the Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012 at 19,0 ft versus Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013 at 20,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012 tips the scales at 224 lbs — 192 lbs more than the Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013 at 32 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 200 hp, the Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 8 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Fun Chaser DS 20 Cruiser 2013 and its 200-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Fun Chaser 1900 DS Fish 2012 with its 150-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
