Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft 241 L 2006 vs Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft 241 L 2006 vs Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 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 241 L 2006 measures 24,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 at 16,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 tips the scales at 588 lbs — 416 lbs less than the Princecraft 241 L 2006 at 172 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 90 hp, the Princecraft 241 L 2006 has a 50-hp advantage over the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013's 40-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft 241 L 2006 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 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 241 L 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft 241 L 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 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.
