Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 20 LPF 2005 vs Princecraft Fisherman 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 20 LPF 2005 vs Princecraft Fisherman 2007 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 Fisherman 2007 measures 14,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 12,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft 20 LPF 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). At 195 lbs and 175 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Princecraft Fisherman 2007 tops out at 20 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 20 LPF 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 LPF 2005 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Princecraft Fisherman 2007 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft 20 LPF 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 20 LPF 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 Fisherman 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
