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 200 2004 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Princecraft 20 ST 2006 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft 200 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 200 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft 20 ST 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
