Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Kingfisher 1875 Falcon 2013 vs Kingfisher 2175 Extreme Shallow 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Kingfisher 1875 Falcon 2013 against a tunnel Kingfisher 2175 Extreme Shallow 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 1875 Falcon 2013 at 18,0 ft versus Kingfisher 2175 Extreme Shallow 2013 at 20,7 ft. At 16 lbs and 22 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 200 hp for the Kingfisher 1875 Falcon 2013 and 200 hp for the Kingfisher 2175 Extreme Shallow 2013. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Kingfisher 2175 Extreme Shallow 2013 carries 45 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Kingfisher 1875 Falcon 2013. 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 Kingfisher 2175 Extreme Shallow 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Kingfisher 1875 Falcon 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Kingfisher 2175 Extreme Shallow 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Kingfisher 2175 Extreme Shallow 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 20,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Kingfisher 1875 Falcon 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
