Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Weldcraft Marine 186 SD 2010 vs Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Weldcraft Marine 186 SD 2010 against a modified vee Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 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 Weldcraft Marine 186 SD 2010 carries a rated maximum of 200 hp. Engine data for the Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 carries 93 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Weldcraft Marine 186 SD 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Weldcraft Marine 186 SD 2010 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weldcraft Marine 186 SD 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
