When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011 and the Parti Kraft PK 2086 FC 2012 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011 at 2,0 ft versus Parti Kraft PK 2086 FC 2012 at 2,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Parti Kraft PK 2086 FC 2012 tips the scales at 2 318 lbs — 777 lbs less than the Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011 at 1 541 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 90 hp for the Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011 and 90 hp for the Parti Kraft PK 2086 FC 2012. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Parti Kraft PK 2086 FC 2012 carries 24 gallons versus 18 gallons in the Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Parti Kraft PK 2086 FC 2012 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011 comes in at 17 lbs per hp versus 26 lbs per hp for the Parti Kraft PK 2086 FC 2012. 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: Choose the Parti Kraft PK 2080 BF 2011 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 Parti Kraft PK 2086 FC 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
