Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 vs Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 vs Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 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 PR1852MT 2006 at 18,0 ft versus Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 at 20,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 tips the scales at 1 775 lbs - 1 375 lbs less than the Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 at 400 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 Vantage 20 L 2007 tops out at 90 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vantage 20 L 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
