Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Holiday 2010 vs Princecraft Vectra 21-4S 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft Holiday 2010 against a pontoon Princecraft Vectra 21-4S 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 21-4S 2013 measures 21,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Holiday 2010 at 16,3 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vectra 21-4S 2013 tips the scales at 1 813 lbs — 1 809 lbs less than the Princecraft Holiday 2010 at 4 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 115 hp, the Princecraft Vectra 21-4S 2013 has a 65-hp advantage over the Princecraft Holiday 2010'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 Vectra 21-4S 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Princecraft Holiday 2010 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Vectra 21-4S 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vectra 21-4S 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 21,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Holiday 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
