Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

The Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2008 vs Smoker Craft Infinity M-818 CR Sundeck 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 Infinity M-818 CR Sundeck 2005 measures 18,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 16,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2008 tips the scales at 1 225 lbs — 1 091 lbs more than the Smoker Craft Infinity M-818 CR Sundeck 2005 at 134 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2008 carries a rated maximum of 125 hp. Engine data for the Smoker Craft Infinity M-818 CR Sundeck 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 Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2008 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Infinity M-818 CR Sundeck 2005 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Bass & Bay 2072 CC 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Infinity M-818 CR Sundeck 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
