Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 vs Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 against a flat Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 at 19,0 ft versus Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 at 17,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 tips the scales at 1 021 lbs — 239 lbs more than the Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 at 782 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 — 75 hp for the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 and 60 hp for the Princecraft PW 1760T 2009. 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.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 and Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
