Matching a deep vee MirroCraft 1677 2010 against a modified vee MirroCraft 4650 (14 ft. Deep Fisherman) 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 — MirroCraft 1677 2010 at 16,2 ft versus MirroCraft 4650 (14 ft. Deep Fisherman) 2013 at 14,2 ft.

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 75 hp, the MirroCraft 1677 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the MirroCraft 4650 (14 ft. Deep Fisherman) 2013's 25-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
