Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2006 vs Princecraft PR1236 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2006 vs Princecraft PR1236 2006 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here.

At 74 lbs and 14 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2006 carries a rated maximum of 90 hp. Engine data for the Princecraft PR1236 2006 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2006 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Princecraft PR1236 2006 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PR1236 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
