2008 Princecraft Pro 169 LX WS Description
-
Whether youre truly a fishing pro or simply one at heart youll appreciate the fish-friendly features on the new-for-2008 WS model of the popular Princecraft Pro 169LX.
Also available in BT (Back Troller) and SC (Side Console) configurations, the WS (Windshield) edition offers twin consoles with a full-width, curved tinted tempered glass windshield. This will keep you well-protected on less
than perfect days or if youre pushing the boat to its 45.4 mph maximum travelling from fishing hole to fishing hole. The windshield features a centre door walk-through that, although a little narrow, provides easy access to the bow area.
If you like to push the limits on the boating season as well as on the water, the WS model also comes with an optional stand-up high convertible top, with curtains and tonneau cover. This completely encloses the boat if nasty
weather threatens to shorten your time spent on the water.
The open fishing boat design on the 169LX keeps fishing simple, with an efficient layout that makes sure fun is at a maximum and stress at a minimum. The fully carpeted Pro 169LX comes with in-floor seating mounts at six different positions, as well as pedestal seats at both the helm and passenger positions
Fishing features on the Pro 169LX WS stretch from stem to stern and are always in easy reach. They include a 12/24-volt trolling motor panel, two aerated livewells (one fore and one aft) with anti-spill cover, and a dual deep-cycle battery storage compartment. All storage, including the seven-foot portside rod locker, is kept secure with key lock.
The helm is comfortable, with visibility good through the full windshield. The deluxe dash panel includes McGill rocker switches with indicator lights. Tachometer, speedometer, voltmeter, and trim and fuel gauges are well-positioned and easy-to-read.
The overall fit and finish on the Pro 169LX WS is good, speaking to the quality of product Princecraft is known for. The hull and deck are made from marine-grade aluminum alloy, making the boat lightweight and strong ensuring you can take a beating and keep on fishing.
Once out on the water, the Pro 169LX WS proved itself a capable and confident fishing machine. Conditions were calm on test day, but the wake of several boats put up quite a bit of chop, which the deep-V hull of the 169LX cut through without a fuss. Through manoeuvres, the boat was very responsive, but had a little slippage in tight turns.
With lightweight and durable construction and loads of fishing features, the Princecraft Pro 169LX WS will keep you out on the water longer and enjoying every minute of it.
