2026 Smoker Craft Osprey 172

The 2026 Smoker Craft Osprey 172 is a 17-foot aluminum fishing runabout built for serious anglers. At 7.4 feet wide, the boat combines practical fishing capability with sportier handling characteristics. The hull is constructed from marine-grade aluminum for durability and reliability on the water.

The layout centers on fishing function. The cockpit features an elevated console with tilt steering and a safety glass windshield. Seating includes dedicated fishing chairs positioned for working the deck. A walk-through canvas top with removable side and drop curtains provides weather protection and can be configured for different conditions.

Storage and live-well systems support active fishing. The 26-gallon bow livewell keeps bait and catch fresh, while bow and in-floor fish boxes offer additional capacity. Rod storage and bow storage compartments keep tackle organized. Under-console storage with shelving provides secure space for gear. The deck features toe holds for safety and a tackle tray for immediate access to rigging.

Standard equipment includes injected foam floatation, a bilge pump, navigation lights, and a full gauge package with tachometer, speedometer, volt meter, and fuel gauge. The floor is marine-treated ¾-inch plywood with vinyl covering for durability and traction.
