Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft Alaskan Deluxe 13 TLLXS 2007 vs Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Alaskan Deluxe 13 TLLXS 2007 vs Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Smoker Craft Alaskan Deluxe 13 TLLXS 2007 measures 12,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). At 225 lbs and 158 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 Alaskan Deluxe 13 TLLXS 2007 carries a rated maximum of 25 hp. Engine data for the Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Alaskan Deluxe 13 TLLXS 2007 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 Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Alaskan Deluxe 13 TLLXS 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
