Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MirroCraft 1766 2013 vs MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The MirroCraft 1766 2013 vs MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004 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 150 hp, the MirroCraft 1766 2013 has a 110-hp advantage over the MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004's 40-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004 is rated for 6 passengers, while the MirroCraft 1766 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The MirroCraft 1766 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.
