When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the War Eagle 754 2013 and the War Eagle 754 VAE 2005 are flat designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The War Eagle 754 VAE 2005 tops out at 90 hp. Engine specs for the War Eagle 754 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
Both boats are rated for 5 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.
Bottom line: The War Eagle 754 2013 and War Eagle 754 VAE 2005 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
