Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Smoker Craft Stinger 162 2004 vs Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Smoker Craft Stinger 162 2004 vs Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2013 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 40 hp, the Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2013 has a 34-hp advantage over the Smoker Craft Stinger 162 2004's 6-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 Stinger 162 2004 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2013 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 Stinger 162 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Smoker Craft Stinger 162 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Smoker Craft Voyager 16 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
