Sundance B18CC 2008 vs Sundance SV19 2013: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats

Both the Sundance B18CC 2008 and the Sundance SV19 2013 are modified-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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 - Sundance B18CC 2008 at 17,0 ft versus Sundance SV19 2013 at 18,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sundance B18CC 2008 tips the scales at 1 640 lbs - 190 lbs more than the Sundance SV19 2013 at 1 450 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Sundance SV19 2013 has a 60-hp advantage over the Sundance B18CC 2008's 90-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sundance SV19 2013 carries 40 gallons versus 33 gallons in the Sundance B18CC 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.

Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Sundance SV19 2013 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Sundance B18CC 2008 with its 90-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Sundance B18CC 2008 vs Sundance SV19 2013 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Sundance B18CC 2008 or the Sundance SV19 2013?
The Sundance SV19 2013 is the longer of the two at 18,5 feet overall. The Sundance B18CC 2008 comes in at 17,0 feet, making it roughly 1,5 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Sundance B18CC 2008 or the Sundance SV19 2013?
For trailering, the Sundance SV19 2013 has the edge at 1 450 lbs dry weight versus 1 640 lbs for the Sundance B18CC 2008. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Sundance SV19 2013 is rated to a maximum of 150 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Sundance B18CC 2008 tops out at 90 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Sundance B18CC 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Sundance SV19 2013 is certified for 5. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Sundance B18CC 2008 measures 94" wide, compared to 90" for the Sundance SV19 2013. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Sundance B18CC 2008 or the Sundance SV19 2013?
The Sundance SV19 2013 has the bigger tank at 40 gallons, versus 33 gallons on the Sundance B18CC 2008. That 7-gallon difference translates to roughly 21–35 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Sundance B18CC 2008 and Sundance SV19 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Sundance B18CC 2008 and the Sundance SV19 2013 are built by Sundance. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
