Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Ungava 2011 vs Princecraft Vantage 21 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Princecraft Ungava 2011 against a pontoon Princecraft Vantage 21 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 Vantage 21 2013 measures 21,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 9,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Ungava 2011 at 12,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Vantage 21 2013 tips the scales at 1 843 lbs — 1 672 lbs less than the Princecraft Ungava 2011 at 171 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 Vantage 21 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the Princecraft Ungava 2011's 15-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 Vantage 21 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Princecraft Ungava 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Vantage 21 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Vantage 21 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 21,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Ungava 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
