Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Pro 166 2004 vs Princecraft PW 1655T 2010: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Pro 166 2004 vs Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 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 90 hp, the Princecraft Pro 166 2004 has a 40-hp advantage over the Princecraft PW 1655T 2010's 50-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 Pro 166 2004 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Pro 166 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Pro 166 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 0,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
