Matching a deep vee Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 against a modified vee Princecraft Pro Series 169 WS 2010 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 2013 at 19,0 ft versus Princecraft Pro Series 169 WS 2010 at 16,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Pro Series 169 WS 2010 tips the scales at 987 lbs — 870 lbs less than the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 at 117 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 — 90 hp for the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 and 90 hp for the Princecraft Pro Series 169 WS 2010. 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 carry nearly identical fuel loads — 27 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 Hudson DLX BT 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro Series 169 WS 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Pro Series 169 WS 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
