Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Fisherman 2013 vs Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Fisherman 2013 is a deep-V design and the Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 is a pontoon design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 Vantage 20 L 2007 measures 20,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 6,0 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 Vantage 20 L 2007 tips the scales at 1 775 lbs - 1 574 lbs less 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 90 hp, the Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 has a 70-hp advantage over the Princecraft Fisherman 2013'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 Vantage 20 L 2007 is rated for 10 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 Vantage 20 L 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 20,0 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.
