Princeville, Quebec – (September 30, 2026) – Princecraft® is pleased to announce the launch of the all-new Vectra® 17, bringing back a model that offers customers a more accessible entry point into the brand's most popular pontoon series.
The return of the Vectra® 17 allows more families to enjoy the comfort, versatility and premium features that have made the Vectra lineup a customer favorite. Designed to deliver exceptional value without compromise, the Vectra 17 combines proven construction, modern amenities, and a wide range of available configurations.
The new Vectra® 17 has been redesigned to deliver even greater capability than its predecessor, including larger 25-inch-diameter pontoons, compared to the 23-inch tubes previously offered on the model. The larger pontoons provide greater flotation, improved stability, and a more confident on-water experience, contributing to a comfortable ride for families and recreational boaters alike.
Despite its position as the smallest model in the Vectra lineup, the Vectra® 17 benefits from many of the same features available throughout the series. Built with Princecraft proven marine-grade 5052-H36 aluminum construction, the pontoon features full-length aluminum deck supports and keels, powder-coated aluminum fencing, sealed chambered pontoons, molded composite bow corners and a rear swim platform designed for easy access to the water.
Comfort remains a priority throughout the layout. Plush furnishings, a captain's chair with swivel plate, a rear sun lounge, a chaise lounge and storage beneath every seating area create a welcoming environment for relaxing days on the water. The pontoon is also equipped with a rotomolded helm console featuring acrylic accents, a molded dashboard with illuminated switches, USB and 12-volt charging ports, courtesy lighting and a Jensen 160-watt Bluetooth enabled audio system paired with four waterproof speakers.
Owners looking to personalize their boating experience can choose from a wide range of available options, including upgraded flooring selections, a permanent fuel tank, a changing room, a tow bar for watersports, additional battery systems, fish-finding electronics from Humminbird and Lowrance, and premium Simrad multifunction displays.
For boaters seeking additional performance, the Vectra® 17 is also available in an optional Sport configuration featuring a center half-log. This setup further enhances handling and overall performance while maintaining the versatility that defines the Vectra family.
Measuring 5.4 m (17’-8”) overall with a 2.4 m (8'-0") beam, the Vectra® 17 offers impressive space for entertaining and family outings. With capacity for up to 7 passengers (U.S. rating) and available power up to 45 kW (60 HP), it delivers the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of on-water activities, from leisurely cruising and watersports to weekend adventures.
The all-new Vectra® 17 made its first public appearance at the Canada Nautical and Outdoor Festival, taking place from September 23 to 27, 2026, at Parc Delpha-Sauvé and the Valleyfield Marina in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec. Replacing and expanding the former in-water boat show, the event offered visitors the opportunity to discover the latest innovations in boating and outdoor recreation through on-water and on-land demonstrations.
With its blend of comfort, value, versatility and modern amenities, the new Vectra® 17 reinforces Princecraft®'s commitment to offering a pontoon for every lifestyle while expanding access to one of the company's most popular product families.
