Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 vs Princecraft Voyageur 2008 — Which Pontoon Fits Your Needs?

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 and the Princecraft Voyageur 2008 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 measures 24,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 22,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Voyageur 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 tips the scales at 2 085 lbs — 1 010 lbs more than the Princecraft Voyageur 2008 at 1 075 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 115 hp, the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 has a 55-hp advantage over the Princecraft Voyageur 2008's 60-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 Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 is rated for 14 passengers, while the Princecraft Voyageur 2008 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 could be the deciding factor.

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: Choose the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 14 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Voyageur 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 vs Princecraft Voyageur 2008 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 or the Princecraft Voyageur 2008?
The Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 is the longer of the two at 24,0 feet overall. The Princecraft Voyageur 2008 comes in at 2,0 feet, making it roughly 22,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 or the Princecraft Voyageur 2008?
For trailering, the Princecraft Voyageur 2008 has the edge at 1 075 lbs dry weight versus 2 085 lbs for the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 is rated to a maximum of 115 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Princecraft Voyageur 2008 tops out at 60 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 14 passengers, while the Princecraft Voyageur 2008 is certified for 13. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 measures 102" wide, compared to 96" for the Princecraft Voyageur 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 and Princecraft Voyageur 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Princecraft Sportfisher 24 LP4S 2007 and the Princecraft Voyageur 2008 are built by Princecraft. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
