Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2012 vs Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2012 against a pontoon Princecraft Voyageur 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2012 at 19,4 ft versus Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 at 21,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2012 tips the scales at 1 566 lbs — 210 lbs more than the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 at 1 356 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 Voyageur 21 2013 tops out at 60 hp. Engine specs for the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2012 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2012 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 21 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 21,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Pro Series 198 SC 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
