Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Pro 162 SS 2004 vs Princecraft Xpedition 200 WS 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Pro 162 SS 2004 vs Princecraft Xpedition 200 WS 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Princecraft Xpedition 200 WS 2013 has a 200-hp advantage over the Princecraft Pro 162 SS 2004's 50-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princecraft Xpedition 200 WS 2013 carries 27 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Princecraft Pro 162 SS 2004. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Xpedition 200 WS 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro 162 SS 2004 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Xpedition 200 WS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Xpedition 200 WS 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Pro 162 SS 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
