Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 vs Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 against a pontoon Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 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 26 LP-SS 2007 measures 26,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 9,6 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 at 16,4 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 tips the scales at 2 333 lbs — 1 675 lbs less than the Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 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 135 hp, the Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 has a 85-hp advantage over the Princecraft PW 1655T 2010'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 26 LP-SS 2007 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 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 26 LP-SS 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
