MirroCraft 3673 2013 vs MirroCraft Holiday - 1628 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee MirroCraft 3673 2013 against a deep vee MirroCraft Holiday - 1628 2009 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 3673 2013 at 16,2 ft versus MirroCraft Holiday - 1628 2009 at 16,0 ft. At 4 lbs and 64 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 — 40 hp for the MirroCraft 3673 2013 and 60 hp for the MirroCraft Holiday - 1628 2009. 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.

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.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The MirroCraft 3673 2013 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 1 lbs per hp for the MirroCraft Holiday - 1628 2009. 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.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the MirroCraft Holiday - 1628 2009 and its 60-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the MirroCraft 3673 2013 with its 40-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
