Matching a deep vee Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2012 against a modified vee Princecraft PR1436 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 SC 2012 measures 19,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft PR1436 2007 at 14,0 feet (2007).
