Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft Big Fish 16 2010 vs Smoker Craft Infinity M-824 CR 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Big Fish 16 2010 vs Smoker Craft Infinity M-824 CR 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 M-824 CR 2004 measures 24,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 7,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Smoker Craft Big Fish 16 2010 at 16,4 feet (2010). At 46 lbs and 19 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 Big Fish 16 2010 carries a rated maximum of 40 hp. Engine data for the Smoker Craft Infinity M-824 CR 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 M-824 CR 2004 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Big Fish 16 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Smoker Craft Infinity M-824 CR 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Infinity M-824 CR 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Big Fish 16 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
