Princecraft Boats is wrapping up the year with fortitude as they announce the all-new Ventura 20 RL and 23 RL for 2023.
The new platforms encompass the last 15 years of design improvements for the Brunswick-owned brand and will offer two incredibly versatile dual console vessels for angers and dayboaters. Both vessels are deep-V reverse chine hulls constructed using H36 aluminum alloy with a pressure-treated wood deck.
“These new models are loaded with features that will appeal to both cruisers and anglers,” said Rodier Grondin, Princecraft President. “We have worked hard to create the largest enhancement the Ventura series has seen in 15 years. These enhancements will make these vessels the best deck boats on the market.”
Highlights of the new 2023 models include:
A new, redesigned dual helm featuring an optional premium high power stereo system, including a touchscreen Simrad Go7 XSR with digital media center, five high-performance speakers, Mercury Marine VesselView, downscan imaging, and a 10" subwoofer and amplifier.
A redesigned deck for greater versatility for both fishing and leisure, as well as foldable entertaining areas.
Expanded water access at the stern and a large rear lounger that can instantly change from a bed to a face forward/backward lounger
Angler-focused features, such as a fishing area, lockable rod storage, a 20-gallon livewell and plug-in and battery tie-downs for an optional 12v, 24v, or 36v trolling motor.
Other standout features for both models include an optional privacy enclosure and head, as well as customizable ski tow points for water sports, and an upgraded stern platform that is 20% larger than previous iterations and with easier water access. Each exterior is made with high gloss urethane with a custom decal package and will include a stainless steel bow eye, six stainless steel cleats, side panel rigging tubes, a built-in floor cooler, in-floor lockable storage, and an oversized bow storage compartment. Entertainment wide, each boat will feature a 200-watt AM/FM/Bluetooth Kicker Stereo with integrated USB plug and auxiliary input, a 12V outlet, and 4 waterproof speakers.
