The May-Craft 1700 Skiff 2007 vs May-Craft 1900CC 2010 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - May-Craft 1700 Skiff 2007 at 16,0 ft versus May-Craft 1900CC 2010 at 18,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the May-Craft 1900CC 2010 tips the scales at 1 900 lbs - 1 100 lbs less than the May-Craft 1700 Skiff 2007 at 800 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 140 hp, the May-Craft 1900CC 2010 has a 80-hp advantage over the May-Craft 1700 Skiff 2007's 60-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 5 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: The May-Craft 1900CC 2010 at 18,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The May-Craft 1700 Skiff 2007 at 16,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
