Princecraft 22 LP4S 2005 vs Princecraft Versailles 26 WK 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 22 LP4S 2005 vs Princecraft Versailles 26 WK 2007 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 Versailles 26 WK 2007 measures 26,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft 22 LP4S 2005 at 22,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 26 WK 2007 tips the scales at 2 335 lbs — 544 lbs less than the Princecraft 22 LP4S 2005 at 1 791 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 Versailles 26 WK 2007 tops out at 135 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 22 LP4S 2005 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 33 gal and 33 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Versailles 26 WK 2007 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Princecraft 22 LP4S 2005 caps at 12. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Versailles 26 WK 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 26 WK 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft 22 LP4S 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 12 that costs less to run day-to-day.
