The Princecraft PR1436 2006 vs Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Princecraft PR1436 2006 at 14,0 ft versus Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 tips the scales at 588 lbs — 403 lbs less than the Princecraft PR1436 2006 at 185 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 Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 tops out at 40 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft PR1436 2006 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Resorter DLX BT 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 4 passengers and at 16,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PR1436 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
