Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 22 L 2004 vs Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 22 L 2004 vs Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 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 22 L 2004 measures 22,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2013 at 16,2 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2013 tips the scales at 834 lbs — 816 lbs less than the Princecraft 22 L 2004 at 18 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 Holiday DLX WS 2013 tops out at 75 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 22 L 2004 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princecraft 22 L 2004 carries 34 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2013. 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 22 L 2004 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft 22 L 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 22 L 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
