Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 vs Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 at 19,0 ft versus Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 at 21,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 tips the scales at 1 356 lbs — 335 lbs less than the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2010 at 1 021 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 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 Hudson DLX BT 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 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 Hudson DLX BT 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.
