Smoker Craft Infinity S-8523 CR 2004 vs Smoker Craft Modified V 1550 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Infinity S-8523 CR 2004 vs Smoker Craft Modified V 1550 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.
The Smoker Craft Modified V 1550 2004 tops out at 45 hp. Engine specs for the Smoker Craft Infinity S-8523 CR 2004 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 S-8523 CR 2004 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Modified V 1550 2004 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Smoker Craft Infinity S-8523 CR 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Infinity S-8523 CR 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 23,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
