Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Weld-Craft 1748 V Bass 2009 vs Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a flat Weld-Craft 1748 V Bass 2009 against a modified vee Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 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 2060 Pro Bass 2013 has a 75-hp advantage over the Weld-Craft 1748 V Bass 2009's 75-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Weld-Craft 1748 V Bass 2009 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 20,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weld-Craft 1748 V Bass 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
