Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 vs Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a pontoon Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 against a deep vee Princecraft Yukon 20 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 Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 measures 29,1 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 14,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 at 14,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 tips the scales at 4 113 lbs — 3 848 lbs more than the Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 at 265 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 220 hp, the Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 has a 195-hp advantage over the Princecraft Yukon 20 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 Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 is rated for 15 passengers, while the Princecraft Yukon 20 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 Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 15 passengers and at 29,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Yukon 20 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.

Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 vs Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 or the Princecraft Yukon 20 2013?
The Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 is the longer of the two at 29,1 feet overall. The Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 comes in at 14,3 feet, making it roughly 14,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 or the Princecraft Yukon 20 2013?
For trailering, the Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 has the edge at 265 lbs dry weight versus 4 113 lbs for the Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 is rated to a maximum of 220 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 tops out at 25 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 15 passengers, while the Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 is certified for 4. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 measures 102" wide, compared to 68" for the Princecraft Yukon 20 2013. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 and Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Princecraft Versailles 29-2S I/O 2009 and the Princecraft Yukon 20 2013 are built by Princecraft. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
