The Odyssey 727C TT 2006 vs Odyssey Millennium 1702M 2005 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Odyssey 727C TT 2006 measures 28,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 12,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Odyssey Millennium 1702M 2005 at 16,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Odyssey 727C TT 2006 tips the scales at 288 lbs — 273 lbs more than the Odyssey Millennium 1702M 2005 at 15 lbs. 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 Odyssey 727C TT 2006 carries a rated maximum of 250 hp. Engine data for the Odyssey Millennium 1702M 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Odyssey 727C TT 2006 could be the deciding factor.
The Odyssey 727C TT 2006 is an inflatable design — lighter, easier to store, and quicker to launch from a beach or dock without a slipway. The Odyssey Millennium 1702M 2005 is a rigid hull, which typically offers a more confident ride in chop and easier maintenance over the long term.
Bottom line: Choose the Odyssey 727C TT 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 19 passengers and at 28,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Odyssey Millennium 1702M 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
