Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 vs Princecraft Yukon DLX BT 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 vs Princecraft Yukon DLX BT 2012 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 measures 18,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 3,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Yukon DLX BT 2012 at 14,3 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Yukon DLX BT 2012 tips the scales at 365 lbs — 361 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 Yukon DLX BT 2012 tops out at 25 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 PR1852MT 2006 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft Yukon DLX BT 2012 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft PR1852MT 2006 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 DLX BT 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
