Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 24 2004 vs Princecraft Holiday DLX SC 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 24 2004 vs Princecraft Holiday DLX SC 2006 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 2004 measures 24,0 feet overall (2004), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Holiday DLX SC 2006 at 16,0 feet (2006). At 22 lbs and 62 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Princecraft Holiday DLX SC 2006 tops out at 60 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft 24 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 2004 is rated for 18 passengers, while the Princecraft Holiday DLX SC 2006 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 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 24 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 Holiday DLX SC 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
