Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 24 L 2004 vs Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 24 L 2004 vs Princecraft Pro 164 SS 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 24 L 2004 measures 24,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2007 at 16,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft 24 L 2004 tips the scales at 2 025 lbs - 1 017 lbs more than the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2007 at 1 008 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 Pro 164 SS 2007 tops out at 75 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 Pro 164 SS 2007 caps at 6. 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 Pro 164 SS 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
