Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 20 LP 2005 vs Princecraft Resorter 20 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 20 LP 2005 vs Princecraft Resorter 20 2005 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft Resorter 20 2005 measures 14,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 12,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft 20 LP 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft 20 LP 2005 tips the scales at 1 915 lbs — 1 648 lbs more than the Princecraft Resorter 20 2005 at 267 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Princecraft Resorter 20 2005 tops out at 30 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 20 LP 2005 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 20 LP 2005 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Princecraft Resorter 20 2005 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft 20 LP 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 20 LP 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Resorter 20 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
