Princecraft 20 ST 2004 vs Princecraft Vogue 25 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 20 ST 2004 vs Princecraft Vogue 25 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 Vogue 25 2013 measures 25,9 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft 20 ST 2004 at 20,0 feet (2004). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vogue 25 2013 tips the scales at 2 421 lbs - 687 lbs less than the Princecraft 20 ST 2004 at 1 734 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 Vogue 25 2013 tops out at 175 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 20 ST 2004 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 34 gal and 32 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
Both boats are rated for 13 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Princecraft Vogue 25 2013 at 25,9 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Princecraft 20 ST 2004 at 20,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
