Rossinavi Aurora 2017 vs Rossinavi Eiv 2020 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Rossinavi Aurora 2017 vs Rossinavi Eiv 2020 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Rossinavi Aurora 2017 at 160,9 ft versus Rossinavi Eiv 2020 at 160,1 ft. At 1 102 311 lbs and 1 102 311 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 3 459 hp, the Rossinavi Aurora 2017 has a 859-hp advantage over the Rossinavi Eiv 2020's 2 600-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Rossinavi Aurora 2017 is rated for 49 passengers, while the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 caps at 48. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Rossinavi Aurora 2017 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Rossinavi Aurora 2017 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 49 passengers and at 160,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Rossinavi Eiv 2020 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 48 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Rossinavi Aurora 2017 vs Rossinavi Eiv 2020 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Rossinavi Aurora 2017 or the Rossinavi Eiv 2020?
The Rossinavi Aurora 2017 is the longer of the two at 160,9 feet overall. The Rossinavi Eiv 2020 comes in at 160,1 feet, making it roughly 0,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Rossinavi Aurora 2017 or the Rossinavi Eiv 2020?
For trailering, the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 has the edge at 1 102 311 lbs dry weight versus 1 102 311 lbs for the Rossinavi Aurora 2017. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Rossinavi Aurora 2017 is rated to a maximum of 3 459 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Rossinavi Eiv 2020 tops out at 2 600 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Rossinavi Aurora 2017 is Coast Guard rated for 49 passengers, while the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 is certified for 48. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Rossinavi Aurora 2017 and Rossinavi Eiv 2020 share an 29.20 ft beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Are the Rossinavi Aurora 2017 and Rossinavi Eiv 2020 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Rossinavi Aurora 2017 and the Rossinavi Eiv 2020 are built by Rossinavi. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
