Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft 172 Ultima Legacy Edition 2021 vs Smoker Craft Pro Mag 140 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft 172 Ultima Legacy Edition 2021 vs Smoker Craft Pro Mag 140 2005 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 115 hp, the Smoker Craft 172 Ultima Legacy Edition 2021 has a 90-hp advantage over the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 140 2005'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 172 Ultima Legacy Edition 2021 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 140 2005 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 172 Ultima Legacy Edition 2021 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft 172 Ultima Legacy Edition 2021 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Pro Mag 140 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
