The Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 vs Princecraft Voyageur 2006 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 LP-SS 2007 measures 26,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 24,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Voyageur 2006 at 2,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 tips the scales at 2 333 lbs — 1 258 lbs more than the Princecraft Voyageur 2006 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 135 hp, the Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 has a 75-hp advantage over the Princecraft Voyageur 2006's 60-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 Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Princecraft Voyageur 2006 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 LP-SS 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 26 LP-SS 2007 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 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 13 that costs less to run day-to-day.
