Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Princess Yachts F50 2022 vs Princess Yachts V48 Open 2017 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Princess Yachts F50 2022 vs Princess Yachts V48 Open 2017 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 800 hp, the Princess Yachts F50 2022 has a 476-hp advantage over the Princess Yachts V48 Open 2017's 324-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Princess Yachts F50 2022 carries 406 gallons versus 291 gallons in the Princess Yachts V48 Open 2017. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 15 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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Princess Yachts F50 2022 and its 800-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Princess Yachts V48 Open 2017 with its 324-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
