When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Smoker Craft Alaskan 12 TL 2010 and the Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2011 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Smoker Craft Alaskan 12 TL 2010 at 11,8 ft versus Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2011 at 14,2 ft. At 185 lbs and 185 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.
The Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2011 tops out at 35 hp. Engine specs for the Smoker Craft Alaskan 12 TL 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
Both boats are rated for 3 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: The Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2011 at 14,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Smoker Craft Alaskan 12 TL 2010 at 11,8 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
