The Odyssey Millennium 2115M 2004 vs Odyssey V170SC 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 V170SC 2005 measures 16,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Odyssey Millennium 2115M 2004 at 2,0 feet (2004). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Odyssey Millennium 2115M 2004 tips the scales at 185 lbs — 171 lbs more than the Odyssey V170SC 2005 at 14 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 V170SC 2005 tops out at 125 hp. Engine specs for the Odyssey Millennium 2115M 2004 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Odyssey Millennium 2115M 2004 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Odyssey V170SC 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Odyssey Millennium 2115M 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Odyssey Millennium 2115M 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Odyssey V170SC 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
