Princecraft 18 2004 vs Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 18 2004 vs Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 tops out at 135 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 18 2004 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft 18 2004 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft 18 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 18 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 11 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
