The Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2006 vs Princecraft Voyageur 21 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 measures 21,6 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2006 at 16,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 tips the scales at 1 356 lbs — 371 lbs less than the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2006 at 985 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 90 hp, the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2006 has a 30-hp advantage over the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2006 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 could be the deciding factor.
