Matching a deep vee Princecraft Ventura 220 WS 2011 against a pontoon Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Princecraft Ventura 220 WS 2011 at 22,2 ft versus Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007 at 22,0 ft. At 2 108 lbs and 2 025 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Princecraft Ventura 220 WS 2011 has a 85-hp advantage over the Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princecraft Versailles 22 LPF 2007 carries 33 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Princecraft Ventura 220 WS 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.
