Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 vs Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 vs Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 measures 15,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 13,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 tips the scales at 525 lbs — 514 lbs less than the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 at 11 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 115 hp, the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 has a 75-hp advantage over the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007's 40-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 Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 13 lbs per hp for the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007. 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: Choose the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 vs Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 or the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007?
The Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 is the longer of the two at 15,0 feet overall. The Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 comes in at 2,0 feet, making it roughly 13,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 or the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007?
For trailering, the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 has the edge at 11 lbs dry weight versus 525 lbs for the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007. 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 Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 is rated to a maximum of 115 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 tops out at 40 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 Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 7 passengers, while the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 is certified for 6. 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 has the better power-to-weight ratio?
The Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 has a better power-to-weight ratio at 0 lbs per hp compared to 13 lbs per hp for the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007. A lower number means quicker acceleration and faster time to plane — the number that actually matters most on short, sporty boats like these.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 measures 96" wide, compared to 72" for the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007. 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.
Are the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 and Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Ultracraft Modified Vee Jon 2070MVD 2008 and the Ultracraft Voyager 16CT (Tiller) 2007 are built by Ultracraft. 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.
