Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft PR 1652MT 2009 vs Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft PR 1652MT 2009 against a pontoon Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 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 Vectra 19 2013 measures 19,6 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2009 at 15,8 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 tips the scales at 1 532 lbs — 1 487 lbs less than the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2009 at 45 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 75 hp, the Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 has a 40-hp advantage over the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2009's 35-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vectra 19 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 19,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PR 1652MT 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
