Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 vs Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 vs Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2008 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 Voyager 14 2008 measures 14,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 12,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). At 158 lbs and 185 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 Voyager 14 2008 tops out at 35 hp. Engine specs for the Smoker Craft Infinity M-8520 F RE 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 M-8520 F RE 2005 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2008 caps at 3. 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 Voyager 14 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
