Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 vs Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a flat Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 against a pontoon Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 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 Versailles 22 LP 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 5,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 at 16,4 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 tips the scales at 1 992 lbs — 1 334 lbs less than the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 at 658 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 Versailles 22 LP 2007 has a 65-hp advantage over the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009's 50-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 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 PW 1655T 2009 vs Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 or the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007?
The Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 is the longer of the two at 22,0 feet overall. The Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 comes in at 16,4 feet, making it roughly 5,6 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 or the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007?
For trailering, the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 has the edge at 658 lbs dry weight versus 1 992 lbs for the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007. 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 Versailles 22 LP 2007 is rated to a maximum of 115 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 tops out at 50 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 PW 1655T 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 is certified for 12. 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 Versailles 22 LP 2007 measures 102" wide, compared to 79" for the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009. 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.
Are the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 and Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Princecraft PW 1655T 2009 and the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 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.
