Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 vs Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 vs Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 140 hp, the Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 has a 115-hp advantage over the Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004's 25-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 Millentia 172 2010 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 17,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 vs Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 — Common Questions

Which is easier to trailer — the Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 or the Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010?
For trailering, the Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 has the edge at 26 lbs dry weight versus 1 325 lbs for the Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010. 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 Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 is rated to a maximum of 140 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 tops out at 25 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 Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 is Coast Guard rated for 3 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 is certified for 5. 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 measures 91" wide, compared to 72" for the Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 and Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Smoker Craft 1448 Livewell 2004 and the Smoker Craft Millentia 172 2010 are built by Smoker Craft. 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.
