Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MB F24 Tomcat 2016 vs MB Sports F21 Tomcat 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The MB F24 Tomcat 2016 vs MB Sports F21 Tomcat 2013 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 400 hp, the MB F24 Tomcat 2016 has a 50-hp advantage over the MB Sports F21 Tomcat 2013's 350-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 65 gal and 65 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The MB Sports F21 Tomcat 2013 is rated for 14 passengers, while the MB F24 Tomcat 2016 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the MB Sports F21 Tomcat 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MB Sports F21 Tomcat 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MB F24 Tomcat 2016 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
