The Weldcraft Marine 186 2010 vs Weldcraft Marine 22 Select 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Weldcraft Marine 22 Select 2007 measures 22,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Weldcraft Marine 186 2010 at 18,5 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weldcraft Marine 186 2010 tips the scales at 174 lbs — 140 lbs more than the Weldcraft Marine 22 Select 2007 at 34 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Weldcraft Marine 186 2010 carries a rated maximum of 200 hp. Engine data for the Weldcraft Marine 22 Select 2007 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 22 Select 2007 carries 93 gallons versus 42 gallons in the Weldcraft Marine 186 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Weldcraft Marine 22 Select 2007 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Weldcraft Marine 186 2010 at 18,5 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.
