The Sundance B20CC 2007 vs Sundance F17T 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sundance B20CC 2007 at 19,0 ft versus Sundance F17T 2013 at 16,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sundance B20CC 2007 tips the scales at 1 595 lbs — 750 lbs more than the Sundance F17T 2013 at 845 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 130 hp, the Sundance B20CC 2007 has a 60-hp advantage over the Sundance F17T 2013's 70-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 Sundance B20CC 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Sundance F17T 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sundance B20CC 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sundance B20CC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sundance F17T 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
