Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 vs Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 against a pontoon Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 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 27-2S 2010 measures 27,8 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 11,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 at 15,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 tips the scales at 2 522 lbs — 2 477 lbs less than the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 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 135 hp, the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 has a 100-hp advantage over the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010'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 Versailles 27-2S 2010 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 27,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 vs Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 or the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010?
The Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 is the longer of the two at 27,8 feet overall. The Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 comes in at 15,8 feet, making it roughly 11,9 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 or the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010?
For trailering, the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 has the edge at 45 lbs dry weight versus 2 522 lbs for the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 is rated to a maximum of 135 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 tops out at 35 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 is certified for 13. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 measures 102" wide, compared to 75" for the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 and Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Princecraft PR 1652MT 2010 and the Princecraft Versailles 27-2S 2010 are built by Princecraft. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
