2026 Princecraft Hudson 166 WS

Meet the boat that needs no introduction. Renowned in the fishing world for its uncompromising excellence, the Hudson® has what it takes to face all conditions head on.

H36 Aluminum
We believe construction materials must adhere to high standards of resilience, performance, and durability to deliver real enjoyment and nautical perfection.

With 70 years of experience, navigation, and innovation under our belt, we are the only manufacturer that crafts every inch of its hulls from H36 aluminum.

Given we use H36 aluminum, it's not surprising to see our boats on the water 25 years after they were initially manufactured. Their exceptional durability and resilience mean you can approach any shore and navigate over rocky bottoms without any fear of scratches and dents.

H36 aluminum, the hallmark of Princecraft®.
