Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Holiday 2004 vs Princecraft PR 1648MT 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Holiday 2004 vs Princecraft PR 1648MT 2011 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 50 hp for the Princecraft Holiday 2004 and 35 hp for the Princecraft PR 1648MT 2011. 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 Holiday 2004 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Princecraft PR 1648MT 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Holiday 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Holiday 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PR 1648MT 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
