princecraft / forrester boats?


slick2526

Question

Are these boats OK for the money? Any problems with leaking rivets or any known issues? I have been looking at three used ones. two forrester's one is a 17ft deep v tiller with a 40hp evinrude the other is a 18ft with a 50hp evinrude. The princecraft is a 16.5 with a 40hp Johnson.

How are the evinrude motors compared to the johnson? Also why on the 18ft forrester and the 16.5 price craft do they make the sides of the boat slope down towards stern of the boat? Just seems kinda weird to me.

i had a prince craft boat with a 40 hp mercury. i think they are a well built boat. however finding a dealer is a nightmare not that the boat itself is bad just some of the hardware seat fittings etc are odd and not standard also the resale value on them takes a beating they dont hold value as well hope this helps good boat but i would try to find something better just my 2 cents worth

I have a Princecraft 170 Pro with a 90 and the only water leaks I've found are where the little round plug thingee is supposed to go BEFORE the boat goes in the water.

Neighbor has a Princecraft and for what its worth its held up better than my Crestliner. I thought it was worth the money to pay more for a Crestliner but my experience is it's not worth it.
