Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Weld-Craft 1752 CDL 2012 vs Weldcraft Marine 20 Angler 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Weld-Craft 1752 CDL 2012 against a deep vee Weldcraft Marine 20 Angler 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 Weldcraft Marine 20 Angler 2013 has a 115-hp advantage over the Weld-Craft 1752 CDL 2012's 35-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Bottom line: The Weldcraft Marine 20 Angler 2013 at 20,6 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Weld-Craft 1752 CDL 2012 at 17,0 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.
