The Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2007 vs Princecraft Voyageur 21 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 Voyageur 21 2012 measures 21,6 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 5,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2007 at 16,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2012 tips the scales at 1 356 lbs - 348 lbs less than the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2007 at 1 008 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 75 hp for the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2007 and 60 hp for the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2012. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Voyageur 21 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro 164 SS 2007 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2012 could be the deciding factor.
