Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2004 vs Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2004 vs Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 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 75 hp, the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2004 has a 25-hp advantage over the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009's 50-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 Hudson DLX SC 2004 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 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 SC 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
