Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft Pro Angler 162 XL 2013 vs Smoker Craft Standard 1648 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Pro Angler 162 XL 2013 vs Smoker Craft Standard 1648 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 75 hp, the Smoker Craft Pro Angler 162 XL 2013 has a 40-hp advantage over the Smoker Craft Standard 1648 2004's 35-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Smoker Craft Pro Angler 162 XL 2013 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Standard 1648 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 Pro Angler 162 XL 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Pro Angler 162 XL 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 16,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Standard 1648 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
