Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 vs Princecraft Versailles 22-2S 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a flat Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 against a pontoon Princecraft Versailles 22-2S 2009 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 22-2S 2009 measures 22,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 at 17,5 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 22-2S 2009 tips the scales at 2 025 lbs — 1 243 lbs less than the Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 at 782 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 22-2S 2009 has a 55-hp advantage over the Princecraft PW 1760T 2009's 60-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 22-2S 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Princecraft PW 1760T 2009 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Versailles 22-2S 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 22-2S 2009 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 1760T 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
