Matching a modified vee Princecraft PW 1760 2011 against a flat Princecraft PW1960MT 2008 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 PW 1760 2011 at 17,5 ft versus Princecraft PW1960MT 2008 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft PW 1760 2011 tips the scales at 782 lbs — 711 lbs more than the Princecraft PW1960MT 2008 at 71 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 60 hp for the Princecraft PW 1760 2011 and 50 hp for the Princecraft PW1960MT 2008. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft PW1960MT 2008 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Princecraft PW 1760 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft PW1960MT 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft PW1960MT 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft PW 1760 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
