Matching a modified vee Princecraft Sport 164 2011 against a pontoon Princecraft Vision 19 L 2007 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 Sport 164 2011 at 16,5 ft versus Princecraft Vision 19 L 2007 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vision 19 L 2007 tips the scales at 1 524 lbs — 516 lbs less than the Princecraft Sport 164 2011 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.
