Matching a modified vee Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 against a deep vee Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2012 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 Pro Series 198 SC 2011 measures 19,4 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 5,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2012 at 14,3 feet (2012).

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 Yukon DL BT 2012 tops out at 25 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 19,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
