Matching a pontoon Stabicraft 1750 Frontier 2011 against a modified vee Stabicraft 2050 Supercab 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Stabicraft 1750 Frontier 2011 at 17,5 ft versus Stabicraft 2050 Supercab 2013 at 20,5 ft.
