Matching a modified vee Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 against a deep vee Princecraft Sport 164 WS 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 at 19,0 ft versus Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2012 at 16,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 tips the scales at 1 133 lbs — 125 lbs more than the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2012 at 1 008 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 115 hp, the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 has a 25-hp advantage over the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2012'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 WS 2010 carries 28 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2012. 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 WS 2010 at 19,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2012 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.
