Matching a modified vee Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 against a pontoon Princecraft Versailles 19 2011 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 Versailles 19 2011 at 19,4 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Hudson DLX WS 2010 tips the scales at 1 133 lbs — 949 lbs more than the Princecraft Versailles 19 2011 at 184 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 40-hp advantage over the Princecraft Versailles 19 2011's 75-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 28 gal and 31 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

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.
