Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 measures 16,4 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 14,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 tips the scales at 1 075 lbs — 417 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 Princecraft PW 1655T 2010 carries a rated maximum of 50 hp. Engine data for the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 is rated for 13 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 Voyageur 20 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 2,0 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.
