Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 24 L 2004 vs Princecraft Fisherman 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 24 L 2004 vs Princecraft Fisherman 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 24 L 2004 measures 24,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Fisherman 2013 at 14,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft 24 L 2004 tips the scales at 2 025 lbs — 1 824 lbs more than the Princecraft Fisherman 2013 at 201 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 Fisherman 2013 tops out at 20 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 24 L 2004 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft 24 L 2004 is rated for 18 passengers, while the Princecraft Fisherman 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft 24 L 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 24 L 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 18 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Fisherman 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
