2024 Princecraft 175 Max

“Family Energy, Sporty Intensity.”

By: Jarrett Matthews

Quality and the Princecraft name have been synonymous for over six decades. The latest addition to their lineup, the Princecraft 175 Sport Max, continues this tradition by seamlessly blending fishing functionality with family-friendly design.

Princecraft introduced the MAX lineup with inclusivity in mind, aiming to offer a distinctive look at an unbeatable price. The 175 Sport Max embodies this ethos, boasting a robust set of features tailored for both fishing enthusiasts and leisure seekers.

Crafted with a sturdy hull made of marine-grade aluminum alloy, the 175 Sport Max ensures durability and safety, certified by NMMA and Transport Canada. Its exterior shines with glossy urethane paint options, while the reverse chine hull design enhances performance on the water.

Storage is ample on the 175 Sport Max, catering to all your gear and equipment needs. Deep cycle battery compartments and large storage compartments provide ample space. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the rod storage, in-floor rod organizer, and electric-filled aerated livewells both at the bow and stern.

Comfort takes precedence on the 175 Sport Max, with fold-down seats, a driver seat on a slider, and bow rider seat cushions. The console setup includes twin consoles with a deluxe dash panel, glove box, and a no-feedback steering system. Additional amenities such as a stereo system, cup holders, and navigation lights add to the onboard experience.

What sets the Sport 175 apart is its focus on family enjoyment. Unlike traditional fish ‘n’ fun models, the Sport 175 excels not only at fishing but also at accommodating family outings. The main cockpit features an expansive U-shaped lounge, providing ample seating for relaxation. A removable pedestal-mounted table adds convenience for snacks and drinks.

The redesigned bow offers 30 percent more space than its predecessor, providing comfort and versatility. Angular seat cushions allow passengers to stretch their legs, while padded backrests ensure comfort during extended trips. With the optional filler cushion, the bow cockpit transforms into a playpen or sun bed, catering to various recreational activities.

Interior features include casting platforms, aerated livewells, and rod storage compartments, while upgrades like Simrad GO7 display and Humminbird GPS/fish finder enhance the boating experience. The hull, fabricated from corrosion-resistant marine-grade aluminum alloy, ensures durability and longevity.

Powered by a Mercury 115 Pro XS engine, the Sport 175 delivers a smooth and solid ride, reaching speeds of up to 42 mph. Thoughtful touches such as toe kicks and factory-installed snaps for mooring/camper canvas add convenience and functionality.

With its solid construction, smooth ride, and thoughtful design, the Princecraft Sport 175 sets a new standard for fish ‘n’ fun models, delivering on both fishing functionality and family enjoyment.
