Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 vs Princecraft Super Pro 206 2010: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats
Both the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 and the Princecraft Super Pro 206 2010 are modified-V designs, both built in aluminium, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 at 19,4 ft versus Princecraft Super Pro 206 2010 at 20,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Super Pro 206 2010 tips the scales at 1 810 lbs - 244 lbs less than the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 at 1 566 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 Princecraft Super Pro 206 2010 tops out at 225 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 60 gal and 60 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Super Pro 206 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Super Pro 206 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Super Pro 206 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
