The Voyager Marine 1570 Bass 2007 vs Voyager Marine Series 4700 - 1047 2009 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 Voyager Marine 1570 Bass 2007 measures 15,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 14,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Voyager Marine Series 4700 - 1047 2009 at 1,0 feet (2009). At 59 lbs and 8 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 35 hp, the Voyager Marine 1570 Bass 2007 has a 33-hp advantage over the Voyager Marine Series 4700 - 1047 2009's 2-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

Both boats are rated for 3 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 Voyager Marine 1570 Bass 2007 comes in at 2 lbs per hp versus 4 lbs per hp for the Voyager Marine Series 4700 - 1047 2009. 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.
