Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Platinum SE 206 2013 vs Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Princecraft Platinum SE 206 2013 against a pontoon Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007 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 Versailles 22 LPF 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Platinum SE 206 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007 tips the scales at 2 025 lbs — 1 841 lbs less than the Princecraft Platinum SE 206 2013 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 250 hp, the Princecraft Platinum SE 206 2013 has a 135-hp advantage over the Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007'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 Platinum SE 206 2013 carries 59 gallons versus 33 gallons in the Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007. 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 Versailles 22 LPF 2007 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Princecraft Platinum SE 206 2013 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Platinum SE 206 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
