Matching a modified vee Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 against a deep vee Princecraft Platinum SE 207 2012 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 WS 2010 measures 19,0 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 17,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Platinum SE 207 2012 at 2,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 tips the scales at 1 133 lbs — 948 lbs more than the Princecraft Platinum SE 207 2012 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 225 hp, the Princecraft Platinum SE 207 2012 has a 110-hp advantage over the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010's 115-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 WS 2010 carries 28 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Princecraft Platinum SE 207 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Platinum SE 207 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Platinum SE 207 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Platinum SE 207 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
