Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Sport 172 SC 2013 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Sport 172 SC 2013 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft Sport 172 SC 2013 measures 17,4 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 15,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). At 1 174 lbs and 1 075 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 Princecraft Sport 172 SC 2013 carries a rated maximum of 125 hp. Engine data for the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Princecraft Sport 172 SC 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 Voyageur 20 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 2,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Sport 172 SC 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.
