Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2006 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2006 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2006 at 17,0 ft versus Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 at 20,0 ft. At 1 162 lbs and 1 075 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2006 carries a rated maximum of 135 hp. Engine data for the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2006 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 13 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Pro 174 SS 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
