When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 and the Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2010 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 at 16,0 ft versus Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2010 at 14,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 tips the scales at 555 lbs — 532 lbs more than the Smoker Craft Voyager 14 2010 at 23 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 14 2010 tops out at 35 hp. Engine specs for the Smoker Craft Pro Mag 168 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
