Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
MirroCraft 4656 (16 ft. Deep Fisherman) 2012 vs MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The MirroCraft 4656 (16 ft. Deep Fisherman) 2012 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 25 hp for the MirroCraft 4656 (16 ft. Deep Fisherman) 2012 and 40 hp for the MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004. 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 6 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 MirroCraft 4656 (16 ft. Deep Fisherman) 2012 and MirroCraft MV648 Utility Predator 2004 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
