Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft PW 1860T 2010 vs Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft PW 1860T 2010 against a deep vee Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2013 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 1860T 2010 at 18,4 ft versus Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2013 at 18,5 ft. At 85 lbs and 147 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2013 has a 115-hp advantage over the Princecraft PW 1860T 2010'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 PW 1860T 2010 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2013 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft PW 1860T 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft PW 1860T 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 18,4 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
