Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 vs Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 against a deep vee Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 measures 18,5 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 4,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 at 14,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 tips the scales at 344 lbs — 199 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 has a 150-hp advantage over the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013's 25-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 Super Pro 185 GL 2012 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Super Pro 185 GL 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
