Princecraft Sportfisher 22 LP4S 2007 vs Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 — A Close Look at Two Pontoons

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Princecraft Sportfisher 22 LP4S 2007 and the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Princecraft Sportfisher 22 LP4S 2007 at 22,0 ft versus Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 at 22,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 tips the scales at 1 992 lbs — 166 lbs less than the Princecraft Sportfisher 22 LP4S 2007 at 1 826 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the Princecraft Sportfisher 22 LP4S 2007 and 115 hp for the Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 33 gal and 33 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

Both boats are rated for 12 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.

One place where both boats are genuinely identical is tube construction: both run 2 aluminum tubes at 25" diameter. That shared spec means stability and buoyancy characteristics are closely matched — the ride difference you'll feel between them comes primarily from deck length, weight distribution, and motor choice.

Bottom line: The Princecraft Sportfisher 22 LP4S 2007 and Princecraft Versailles 22 LP 2007 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
