Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Hudson 170 WS 2025 vs Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Hudson 170 WS 2025 vs Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2004 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Princecraft Hudson 170 WS 2025 has a 60-hp advantage over the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2004's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 25 gal and 28 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2004 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft Hudson 170 WS 2025 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Hudson 170 WS 2025 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
