Smoker Craft Infinity A-8520 2005 vs Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Infinity A-8520 2005 vs Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2009 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.
The Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2009 tops out at 60 hp. Engine specs for the Smoker Craft Infinity A-8520 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Smoker Craft Infinity A-8520 2005 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2009 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 A-8520 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Infinity A-8520 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.
