Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 20 ST 2004 vs Princecraft PR 1436 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 20 ST 2004 vs Princecraft PR 1436 2013 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 20 ST 2004 measures 20,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft PR 1436 2013 at 14,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft 20 ST 2004 tips the scales at 1 734 lbs - 1 589 lbs more than the Princecraft PR 1436 2013 at 145 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 PR 1436 2013 tops out at 20 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 20 ST 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 20 ST 2004 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Princecraft PR 1436 2013 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft 20 ST 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 20 ST 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 13 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PR 1436 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
