Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 vs Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a flat Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 against a modified vee Princecraft Yukon 15 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 PR 1852MT 2011 measures 18,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 at 14,3 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 tips the scales at 475 lbs — 451 lbs more than the Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 at 24 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 45 hp for the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 and 25 hp for the Princecraft Yukon 15 2010. 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 PR 1852MT 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 11 lbs per hp for the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.

Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 vs Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 or the Princecraft Yukon 15 2010?
The Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 is the longer of the two at 18,0 feet overall. The Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 comes in at 14,3 feet, making it roughly 3,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 or the Princecraft Yukon 15 2010?
For trailering, the Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 has the edge at 24 lbs dry weight versus 475 lbs for the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011. 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 PR 1852MT 2011 is rated to a maximum of 45 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 tops out at 25 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 1852MT 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 is certified for 4. 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 has the better power-to-weight ratio?
The Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 has a better power-to-weight ratio at 1 lbs per hp compared to 11 lbs per hp for the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011. A lower number means quicker acceleration and faster time to plane — the number that actually matters most on short, sporty boats like these.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 measures 75" wide, compared to 68" for the Princecraft Yukon 15 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 1852MT 2011 and Princecraft Yukon 15 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Princecraft PR 1852MT 2011 and the Princecraft Yukon 15 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.
