Matching a modified vee Kingfisher 1825 Trio Side Console 2012 against a deep vee Kingfisher 2075 Extreme Duty V8 2013 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 — Kingfisher 1825 Trio Side Console 2012 at 17,7 ft versus Kingfisher 2075 Extreme Duty V8 2013 at 20,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Kingfisher 2075 Extreme Duty V8 2013 tips the scales at 3 259 lbs — 3 248 lbs less than the Kingfisher 1825 Trio Side Console 2012 at 11 lbs.

Rated to 320 hp, the Kingfisher 2075 Extreme Duty V8 2013 has a 205-hp advantage over the Kingfisher 1825 Trio Side Console 2012's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Kingfisher 2075 Extreme Duty V8 2013 carries 52 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Kingfisher 1825 Trio Side Console 2012.
