Matching a modified vee Sea Chaser 180 FS 2009 against a deep vee Sea Chaser 1900 CC 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sea Chaser 180 FS 2009 at 17,0 ft versus Sea Chaser 1900 CC 2013 at 18,7 ft. At 172 lbs and 166 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Sea Chaser 180 FS 2009 and 150 hp for the Sea Chaser 1900 CC 2013. 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 Sea Chaser 1900 CC 2013 carries 75 gallons versus 33 gallons in the Sea Chaser 180 FS 2009. 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 Sea Chaser 1900 CC 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Sea Chaser 180 FS 2009 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Chaser 1900 CC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Chaser 1900 CC 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 18,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Chaser 180 FS 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
