When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Alweld Stick Steer Boats (15 ft.) 2011 and the Alweld Vee LA 2011 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The Alweld Stick Steer Boats (15 ft.) 2011 carries a rated maximum of 40 hp. Engine data for the Alweld Vee LA 2011 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Alweld Vee LA 2011 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Alweld Stick Steer Boats (15 ft.) 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Alweld Vee LA 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Alweld Vee LA 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 12,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Alweld Stick Steer Boats (15 ft.) 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
