The Smoker Craft Infinity S-8527 RE-HT 2005 vs Smoker Craft Voyager 16 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 S-8527 RE-HT 2005 measures 27,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 11,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2005 at 16,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Smoker Craft Infinity S-8527 RE-HT 2005 tips the scales at 308 lbs — 273 lbs more than the Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2005 at 35 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 Voyager 16 2005 tops out at 40 hp. Engine specs for the Smoker Craft Infinity S-8527 RE-HT 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 S-8527 RE-HT 2005 is rated for 18 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2005 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-8527 RE-HT 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Infinity S-8527 RE-HT 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 18 passengers and at 27,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
