Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 vs Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 vs Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 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 PR1852MT 2006 at 18,0 ft versus Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 2013 at 19,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 2013 tips the scales at 1 553 lbs — 1 549 lbs less than the Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 at 4 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 Vectra 19-2S 2013 tops out at 75 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 Vectra 19-2S 2013 is rated for 9 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 Vectra 19-2S 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vectra 19-2S 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 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.
