Both the Jetcraft 1625 Falcon 2010 and the Jetcraft 1875 Extreme Shallow J-MAX CC 2010 are modified-V designs, both built in aluminium, so 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 - Jetcraft 1625 Falcon 2010 at 16,0 ft versus Jetcraft 1875 Extreme Shallow J-MAX CC 2010 at 18,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Jetcraft 1875 Extreme Shallow J-MAX CC 2010 tips the scales at 1 810 lbs - 860 lbs less than the Jetcraft 1625 Falcon 2010 at 950 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 Jetcraft 1625 Falcon 2010 carries a rated maximum of 60 hp. Engine data for the Jetcraft 1875 Extreme Shallow J-MAX CC 2010 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Jetcraft 1875 Extreme Shallow J-MAX CC 2010 carries 35 gallons versus 20 gallons in the Jetcraft 1625 Falcon 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Jetcraft 1875 Extreme Shallow J-MAX CC 2010 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Jetcraft 1625 Falcon 2010 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Jetcraft 1875 Extreme Shallow J-MAX CC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
