Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 vs Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 vs Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 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 21 Legacy 2007 measures 21,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 19,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 at 2,0 feet (2012). At 25 lbs and 31 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 carries a rated maximum of 225 hp. Engine data for the Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2007 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 62 gal and 62 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
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 21 Legacy 2007 at 21,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 at 2,0 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.
