predictor vs sportfire

Im looking for the differences between these two boats. I know their weights differ by about 150 lbs, the predictor rated for 125 and sportfire rated at 140 respectfully, and bkth are 16 ft. Obviously the windshields are different too haha. How about the differences in quality, hull design, ride characteristics, interiors etc. Idk anything about these two in comparison when it comes to all of the above. Any info would be great! Thanks!
 
They Are Different

The Sportsfire is actually 16' 7'' The Predictor is 16' 6'' The Sportsfire also has more beam. If you want to go fast the Predictor is the better choice.
 
Thanks! Yea going fast isnt my main concern. A good handling boat to do some watersports and cruising and some joy rides is what im looking for. So the sportfire can handle the chop a bit better than the predictor i take it
 
Wow those are very clean! That sportfire looks like it has a pretty comfortable interior for what it is
 
I"m curious on this to. Love the Sportfire. What about the transome? differences? And what did the red one run with the 2.5 on the back?
 
The Predictor is faster but the Sportfire has a lot more room. 6" more beam and 6" more depth. Very roomy for a 16' boat. Neither are great in chop. I way prefer my Diplomat over my buddies Enticer (open bows version of the same hulls)
 
I thought it looked alot roomier. Like i said, top speed isnt my biggest concern. But the extra room always is nice!
