Matching a deep vee Stanley Boats 16 Mink CC 2011 against a modified vee Stanley Boats 20 Predator 2011 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Stanley Boats 16 Mink CC 2011 measures 16,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Stanley Boats 20 Predator 2011 at 2,0 feet (2011). At 11 lbs and 14 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 75 hp for the Stanley Boats 16 Mink CC 2011 and 90 hp for the Stanley Boats 20 Predator 2011. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
Both boats are rated for 4 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.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Stanley Boats 16 Mink CC 2011 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 0 lbs per hp for the Stanley Boats 20 Predator 2011. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
Bottom line: The Stanley Boats 16 Mink CC 2011 at 16,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Stanley Boats 20 Predator 2011 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
