The Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2013 is a deep-V design and the Princecraft PR1436 2007 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 2013 measures 19,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft PR1436 2007 at 14,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2013 tips the scales at 1 239 lbs - 1 054 lbs more than the Princecraft PR1436 2007 at 185 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 150 hp, the Princecraft Hudson DLX SC 2013 has a 130-hp advantage over the Princecraft PR1436 2007's 20-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 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft PR1436 2007 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 2013 could be the deciding factor.
