Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Fisherman 2007 vs Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft Fisherman 2007 against a deep vee Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2013 measures 19,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Fisherman 2007 at 14,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2013 tips the scales at 1 325 lbs — 1 150 lbs less than the Princecraft Fisherman 2007 at 175 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 150 hp, the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2013 has a 130-hp advantage over the Princecraft Fisherman 2007's 20-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 Hudson DLX WS 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft Fisherman 2007 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Fisherman 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
