Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 vs Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 against a pontoon Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 measures 21,9 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 at 16,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 tips the scales at 2 077 lbs — 1 182 lbs less than the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 at 895 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 115 hp, the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 has a 40-hp advantage over the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011's 75-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 carries 32 gallons versus 28 gallons in the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 21,9 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 vs Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 or the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013?
The Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 is the longer of the two at 21,9 feet overall. The Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 comes in at 16,2 feet, making it roughly 5,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 or the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013?
For trailering, the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 has the edge at 895 lbs dry weight versus 2 077 lbs for the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 is rated to a maximum of 115 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 tops out at 75 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 is certified for 9. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 measures 102" wide, compared to 87" for the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 or the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013?
The Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 has the bigger tank at 32 gallons, versus 28 gallons on the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011. That 4-gallon difference translates to roughly 12–20 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 and Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Princecraft Pro Series 165 SC 2011 and the Princecraft Vogue 21 2013 are built by Princecraft. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
