Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2011 vs Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2011 against a pontoon Princecraft Voyageur 21 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 Voyageur 21 2013 measures 21,6 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2011 at 16,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 tips the scales at 1 356 lbs — 522 lbs less than the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2011 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 2011 and 60 hp for the Princecraft Voyageur 21 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 Voyageur 21 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 21,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Holiday DLX WS 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
