Matching a deep vee Smoker Craft 140 Pro Mag 2013 against a modified vee Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2010 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2010 measures 20,2 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Smoker Craft 140 Pro Mag 2013 at 14,4 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2010 tips the scales at 1 225 lbs — 750 lbs less than the Smoker Craft 140 Pro Mag 2013 at 475 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 125 hp, the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2010 has a 90-hp advantage over the Smoker Craft 140 Pro Mag 2013's 35-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 Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2010 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Smoker Craft 140 Pro Mag 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 20,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft 140 Pro Mag 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
