Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 vs Smoker Craft V170 I-O 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 vs Smoker Craft V170 I-O 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 V170 I-O 2004 tops out at 19 hp. Engine specs for the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 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 V170 I-O 2004 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 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 V170 I-O 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft V170 I-O 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
