advantages and building processDeck Boats

Discover our other advantages and processes:
Fishing Boats and Pontoon Boats

Enjoy the best of both worlds Princecraft® deck boats allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds

  • The performance of a speed boat
  • The comfort and spaciousness of a pontoon
  • Everyone can enjoy the fun

50 years of engineering Over 65 years of engineering goes into our deck boats

  • The same innovative engineering and almost the same assembly as our fish boats
  • The same legendary Princecraft® quality is evidenced in every detail
  • The same quest for unparalleled performance

Aluminum boats perform better than fiberglass - 1 Aluminum boats perform better than fiberglass - 2 Aluminum boats perform better than fiberglass

Fiberglass is heavier than aluminum, so you get better performance from a smaller engine.

Aluminum boats offer a number of advantages:

  • Plane faster and stay on plane at slower speeds
  • Provide better fuel efficiency and easier trailering with a smaller vehicle
  • Offer unsurpassed handling and performance
  • Require less maintenance than fiberglass
  • Can be beached on a rocky shore without chipping or cracking the hull
  • Are more durable, which is why they manufacture airplanes and semi-trucks from aluminum

State-of-the-art Design and Engineering - 1 State-of-the-art Design and Engineering - 2 State-of-the-art Design and Engineering - 3 Princecraft® State-of-the-art CAD Design and Engineering

  • Our designers create and test models in the computer
  • Develop hulls and features for performance and styling
  • CAD and solid works 3D software ensures every specification is precise
  • Exclusive three-step construction process combining:
    • Riveting
    • Welding and
    • Aircraft-grade adhesive
  • For unmatched combination of strength, durability and performance

Testing and Re-testing Testing and Re-testing

  • Our history of innovation demonstrates our unyielding quest for better boats
  • Every hull is tank tested - from the largest to the smallest
  • Ensures water tightness
  • Prototypes are tested for performance and durability
  • Final adjustments are made to hulls and components

Built from the best aluminum - 1 Built from the best aluminum - 2 Built from the best aluminum

  • We insist on H36 throughout our boats because we won't compromise on durability
  • H36 is 25% harder than other aluminum alloys used by some competitors
    • Provides uniform strength and a truer hull shape
    • Provides a better ride, more durability and lasting value

Every Component Fits Better Every Component Fits Better

High-tech CNC cutting equipment so cuts are extremely precise

  • Every component fits precisely, performs better and lasts longer
  • The biggest difference in assembly from model to model are the serial numbers

Structural Durability Structural Durability Structural Durability

The best combination of structural components for each boat size and usage

  • We maximize the structural strength of hulls with aluminum transverse and longitudinal framings
    • H36 center keel from stern to mid ship
    • H36 aluminum brace-plate from mid-ship to bow
    • Aluminum extrusion at the junction of the hull and the sides

Princecraft® has more extruded aluminum parts than its competitors. These parts play an important role in obtaining a more refined finish and greater rigidity of the boat. Our gunnels, that are designed this way, give even more rigidity to our hulls.

Wider, Deeper V-hull - 1 Wider, Deeper V-hull - 2 Wider, Deeper V-hull

  • Our deck boats have a greater load capacity
  • A wider, deeper-V provides more stability while idling or underway
  • Our advanced hull design cuts through water better with less pounding
  • Our hulls can handle larger, faster engines
  • Reverse-chine hull designs for performance-enhancing lift, efficiency and agility
  • Our hulls, made of single piece of aluminum, are designed to easily absorb the shock of waves

Ergonomic interiorsErgonomic interiors

  • We build every deck for optimum comfort and performance
  • Spacious floor plans and plenty of seating
  • Helm stations with everything within easy reach
