Matching a modified vee Weld-Craft 1652 MUV Sportsman 2011 against a flat Weld-Craft 1960 V Bass 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Weld-Craft 1960 V Bass 2010 has a 90-hp advantage over the Weld-Craft 1652 MUV Sportsman 2011's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Bottom line: The Weld-Craft 1960 V Bass 2010 at 19,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Weld-Craft 1652 MUV Sportsman 2011 at 16,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
