Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 vs Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 vs Weldcraft Marine 24 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 24 Select 2007 measures 24,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 22,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 at 2,0 feet (2012). At 25 lbs and 38 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 24 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 24 Select 2007 carries 93 gallons versus 62 gallons in the Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012. 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 2007 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2012 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 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2007 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 20 Renegade 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
