Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft 168 Pro Mag 2013 vs Smoker Craft Pro Mag 162 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Smoker Craft 168 Pro Mag 2013 against a modified vee Smoker Craft Pro Mag 162 2009 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 90 hp, the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 162 2009 has a 50-hp advantage over the Smoker Craft 168 Pro Mag 2013's 40-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 162 2009 and its 90-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Smoker Craft 168 Pro Mag 2013 with its 40-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
