Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 vs Princecraft Vantage 22 L 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 vs Princecraft Vantage 22 L 2007 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 135 hp for the Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 and 115 hp for the Princecraft Vantage 22 L 2007. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 35 gal and 33 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Vantage 22 L 2007 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Vantage 22 L 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vantage 22 L 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
