Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 vs Princecraft Voyageur 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 against a pontoon Princecraft Voyageur 2007 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 Hudson DLX BT 2013 measures 19,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 17,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Voyageur 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 2007 tips the scales at 1 075 lbs — 958 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 90 hp, the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 has a 30-hp advantage over the Princecraft Voyageur 2007's 60-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 Voyageur 2007 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 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 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Voyageur 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Hudson DLX BT 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
