Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft PR 1436 2011 vs Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft PR 1436 2011 vs Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2004 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 20 hp for the Princecraft PR 1436 2011 and 30 hp for the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2004. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2004 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Princecraft PR 1436 2011 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PR 1436 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
