Alumacraft Competitor FSX 185: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Alumacraft Competitor 185 FSX is a versatile fishing sport crossover boat designed to accommodate both serious anglers and family outings. Measuring 18 feet 8 inches in length overall with a beam of 95 inches, this model offers a blend of fishing functionality and comfortable family features. With a lightweight hull of 1,500 pounds and a fuel capacity of 34 gallons, it supports engines up to 175 horsepower, making it suitable for a range of recreational boating activities.
Fishing Features and Exterior Design
The bow casting deck is spacious and comfortable, carpeted with padding underneath, measuring five feet fore and aft, with a gunwale depth of 13 inches. It includes multiple storage compartments, an 18-gallon live well, and a lockable rod storage area capable of holding eight rods. The deck also features a pedestal for movable seating. The cockpit continues the fishing focus with additional tackle storage compartments, a second lockable rod locker for eight-foot rods, and pull-out drawers beneath the dual consoles for tackle organization. The boat is equipped with Alumitrack accessory grooves along the cap rail, allowing for customizable rod holders and beverage holders. The stern features a full-beam casting platform with a 22-gallon live well that offers dual access and a bait container. Additional fishing conveniences include on-the-go rod storage for rods up to eight-and-a-half feet and a standard ski-toe pylon with dedicated storage in the starboard rod locker.
Family and Comfort Features
The Competitor 185 FSX incorporates several family-friendly amenities. Optional console and bow cushions enhance comfort, while four pedestal-mounted seats in the cockpit provide flexible seating arrangements. These seats are vented, foldable, and feature custom embroidery. Safety is addressed with a cockpit depth of 23 inches and grab handles surrounding all seating areas. The port side houses a 13-gallon insulated cooler that doubles as dry storage, and the port console includes a deep glove box and a draining top surface for convenience. Two comfortable jump seats are located on the casting platform with ergonomic dimensions for extended use. Additional features include a three-step re-boarding ladder on the starboard transom, snap-in comfort pads, and courtesy lighting fore and aft for nighttime use.
Power and Performance
This model is compatible with engines up to 175 horsepower; the test boat was equipped with a 150-horsepower Mercury Pro XS paired with a 14x19 propeller. The engine is mounted on an all-aluminum reinforced transom with clean rigging and features C-Star hydraulic steering. The helm station is starboard-mounted and includes a Lowrance Elite 7 multifunction display with moving map capabilities, USB and auxiliary connectivity, an Infinity stereo system, and a tilt steering wheel. Operational ergonomics are generally well thought out, though minor carpet edging and swivel seat release mechanisms require awareness. The hull design incorporates a full-length spray rail and a gull-wing shape on both sides, contributing to excellent water grip and handling. The 2XB hull system features double-plating throughout for durability. Performance testing showed a top speed of 48.2 miles per hour at 5,900 RPM, with a best cruise speed of 20.4 miles per hour at 3,000 RPM yielding 6 miles per gallon and a range of approximately 183 miles. The boat planes quickly, responds promptly to throttle input, and handles wakes and hard turns with minimal hull slap, no chine walk, and stable tracking.
Trailer and Additional Features
The Competitor 185 FSX is delivered on a custom trailer constructed from steel with aluminum wheels. The trailer includes dual bunks, ratcheting tie-downs, submersible brake lights, load guides, surge brakes, a swivel trailer jack, and a spare tire. An optional ratcheting trailer cover is also available. The boat's exterior finish features an automotive-grade paint system with primer, base coat, and clear coat layers, complemented by decals for styling.
Conclusion
The Alumacraft Competitor 185 FSX successfully combines a comprehensive suite of fishing features with family-friendly amenities and solid performance characteristics. Its thoughtful design includes ample storage, flexible seating, and durable construction, while the hull and powertrain deliver responsive handling and efficient cruising. This boat offers a well-rounded package for anglers seeking versatility without sacrificing comfort or performance.
