Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 20 ST 2004 vs Princecraft Tournament SP 188 DLX AE 2004: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 20 ST 2004 vs Princecraft Tournament SP 188 DLX AE 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 Tournament SP 188 DLX AE 2004 tops out at 175 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 20 ST 2004 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princecraft Tournament SP 188 DLX AE 2004 carries 60 gallons versus 34 gallons in the Princecraft 20 ST 2004. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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 Tournament SP 188 DLX AE 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 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 Tournament SP 188 DLX AE 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.
