Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princecraft Voyageur 2009 vs Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a pontoon Princecraft Voyageur 2009 against a deep vee Princecraft Yukon DL BT 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 Voyageur 2009 measures 20,3 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 6,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 at 14,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Princecraft Voyageur 2009 tips the scales at 1 075 lbs — 731 lbs more than the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 2013 at 344 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 60 hp, the Princecraft Voyageur 2009 has a 35-hp advantage over the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 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 Voyageur 2009 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Princecraft Yukon DL BT 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 Voyageur 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Princecraft Voyageur 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 20,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Princecraft Yukon DL BT 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.
