2007 Princecraft Ventura 190V Description
-
Aesthetics are a big part of boat ownership;
lots of people want a great looking
boat.
On the other hand, more and more buyers
are being seduced by the incredible features and
accommodations a pontoon boat can offer. In
spite of their ungainly appearance, pontoons have
seating for the whole family on one large, flat
expanse of carpeted floor. You can spend a whole
day on the water with the whole family - especially
if you get the Bimini top for protection.
Enter the deck boat. Developed in the US for
the trailer boat market, deck boats are a marriage
between the performance and sleek lines of a
deep-V runabout, with the living space of a pontoon.
For our Canadian market, the Princecraft
Ventura 190V is one of those rare compromise
solutions giving you the best of both worlds.
Princecraft builds the Ventura 190V on a
deep hull and tops it off with flat flooring on
almost all the space offered by its 19 foot, 2 inch
length and 97 inch beam. To make it appear
sleeker, there are aluminum sides added above the
decking that are decorated with coloured graphics.
It all looks pretty nice.
Powering this deep-V living room was a
MerCruiser 3.0 L sterndrive. Larger engines are
available, but this venerable design produces quite
a bit of torque, 135 hp and delivers good performance
in this application.
Having a sterndrive allows a full-width aft
swim platform with boarding ladder. There is a
starboard side transom door and an eight-footwide
sun pad for tanning when you are moored.
This lifts up for generous engine access and storage.
The interior is laid out like a pontoon, with
an L-shaped settee for four or five on the port
side and two forward bench seats with the helm
mid-ships on the starboard side.
There's a removable picnic table and all seat
bases are rotocast for durability and have abundant
storage areas underneath. There's a ski locker
and a generously sized anchor locker in the bow,
as well. You enter at the open flat bow or through
a port side door.
The helm position was very comfortable with
an adjustable, pedestal-mounted bucket seat and
well-placed steering wheel. A venture windscreen
protects you from the wind, but has a bit of distortion
at the top that I found irritating. You get
speedometer, tach, tilt, oil, temperature and oil
pressure gauges. I thought the MerCruiser
gearshift seemed smoother than I remember, too.
The 3.0 MerCruiser is a bit rough at idle, but
things smooth out with a little throttle. The
Ventura accelerated to 20 mph in only 4.6 seconds,
stayed solidly planed off at 3000 rpm doing
22 mph, then revved on to 4800 at a very
respectable 38 mph. The power steering delivered
precise and effortless control and Princecraft's
well-designed hull turned tight at all speeds and
delivered an impressively solid and soft ride.
Packaged with a matching trailer, the
Princecraft Ventura 190V is a boat you can keep
at home in your garage. Just hitch it up any
sunny day and you can spend an extended time
out on the water with a gang of people - all
doing what they enjoy thanks to the generous
deck boat accommodations.
