Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009 vs Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a flat Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009 against a pontoon Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 measures 22,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009 at 18,0 feet (2009). At 5 lbs and 2 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 115 hp, the Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 has a 75-hp advantage over the Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009'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 Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.

The Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009 comes in at 18,0 feet, making it roughly 4,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009 or the Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009?
For trailering, the Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 has the edge at 2 lbs dry weight versus 5 lbs for the Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009.

Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?

How many people can each boat hold?
The Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 3 passengers, while the Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 is certified for 12.

Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Voyager Marine Super Center Console Fish 2009 measures 102" wide, compared to 85" for the Voyager Marine Series 8500 - 1885 2009. 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.
