Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 1660 SC 2008 vs Smoker Craft Infinity A-8524 F 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 1660 SC 2008 vs Smoker Craft Infinity A-8524 F 2004 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 Infinity A-8524 F 2004 measures 24,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 1660 SC 2008 at 16,0 feet (2008). At 74 lbs and 21 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 Bass & Bay 1660 SC 2008 carries a rated maximum of 65 hp. Engine data for the Smoker Craft Infinity A-8524 F 2004 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 A-8524 F 2004 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 1660 SC 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Smoker Craft Infinity A-8524 F 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Infinity A-8524 F 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 1660 SC 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
