Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2011 vs Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2011 against a pontoon Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 2011 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 Vectra 19-2S 2011 measures 19,6 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2011 at 16,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 2011 tips the scales at 1 523 lbs — 769 lbs less than the Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2011 at 754 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 75 hp, the Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2011's 50-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 5 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 2011 at 19,6 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Princecraft Holiday DLX BT 2011 at 16,2 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
