Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Versailles 26-2S 2009 vs Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princecraft Versailles 26-2S 2009 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 Versailles 26-2S 2009 measures 26,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 24,0 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 Versailles 26-2S 2009 tips the scales at 2 333 lbs — 1 258 lbs more than the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 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 Princecraft Versailles 26-2S 2009 carries a rated maximum of 135 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 Versailles 26-2S 2009 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 caps at 13. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Princecraft Versailles 26-2S 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 26-2S 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 26,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Voyageur 20 2004 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
