The Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013 is a deep-V design and the Princecraft Ventura 191V L4S O/B 2007 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 Sport 164 WS 2013 at 16,5 ft versus Princecraft Ventura 191V L4S O/B 2007 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Ventura 191V L4S O/B 2007 tips the scales at 1 960 lbs - 952 lbs less than the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013 at 1 008 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 220 hp, the Princecraft Ventura 191V L4S O/B 2007 has a 130-hp advantage over the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013's 90-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princecraft Ventura 191V L4S O/B 2007 carries 50 gallons versus 20 gallons in the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Ventura 191V L4S O/B 2007 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Sport 164 WS 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 Ventura 191V L4S O/B 2007 could be the deciding factor.
