Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 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 Super Pro 185 GL 2012 measures 18,5 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 16,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 at 2,0 feet (2004). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 tips the scales at 1 075 lbs — 930 lbs less than the Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 at 145 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 Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 carries a rated maximum of 175 hp. Engine data for the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 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 2004 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 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 2004 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 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 Super Pro 185 GL 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
