Matching a deep vee Princecraft Scamper 2013 against a pontoon Princecraft Voyageur 21 2012 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 Voyageur 21 2012 measures 21,6 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 7,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Scamper 2013 at 14,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2012 tips the scales at 1 356 lbs — 1 341 lbs less than the Princecraft Scamper 2013 at 15 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 60 hp, the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2012 has a 45-hp advantage over the Princecraft Scamper 2013's 15-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 Voyageur 21 2012 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Scamper 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Voyageur 21 2012 could be the deciding factor.
