Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2007 vs Princecraft Vogue 23 XT 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2007 vs Princecraft Vogue 23 XT 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 Vogue 23 XT 2013 measures 23,9 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 7,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2007 at 16,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vogue 23 XT 2013 tips the scales at 2 337 lbs — 1 752 lbs less than the Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2007 at 585 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 Vogue 23 XT 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2007's 50-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 Vogue 23 XT 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 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 Vogue 23 XT 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vogue 23 XT 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 23,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 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.
