Matching a modified vee Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2009 against a pontoon Princecraft Vectra 19 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 Vectra 19 2013 measures 19,6 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2009 at 16,2 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 tips the scales at 1 532 lbs — 698 lbs less than the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2009 at 834 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 60 hp for the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2009 and 75 hp for the Princecraft Vectra 19 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 could be the deciding factor.
