The Voyager Marine 16 ft. Sport Cruise Deluxe 2011 is a pontoon design and the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 is a flat-bottom design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Voyager Marine 16 ft. Sport Cruise Deluxe 2011 at 16,0 ft versus Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 at 16,2 ft.

Sport Cruise Deluxe 2011 tips the scales at 1 350 lbs - 530 lbs more than the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 at 820 lbs.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 60 hp for the Voyager Marine 16 ft. Sport Cruise Deluxe 2011 and 75 hp for the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011.

Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Voyager Marine 16 ft. Sport Cruise Deluxe 2011 carries 29 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011.

Sport Cruise Deluxe 2011 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Voyager Marine 16 ft. Sport Cruise Deluxe 2011 could be the deciding factor.

The Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 comes in at 11 lbs per hp versus 23 lbs per hp for the Voyager Marine 16 ft. Sport Cruise Deluxe 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: Choose the Voyager Marine 16 ft. Sport Cruise Deluxe 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 7 passengers and at 16,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Voyager Marine Master Series All Welded Bass 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
