Both the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2012 and the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in aluminium, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2012 at 19,0 ft versus Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013 at 16,5 ft. At 1 070 lbs and 1 008 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 115 hp, the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2012 has a 25-hp advantage over the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013's 90-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2012 carries 28 gallons versus 20 gallons in the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2012 at 19,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013 at 16,5 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
