Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2013 vs Weldcraft Marine 22 Select 2013 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2013 and the Weldcraft Marine 22 Select 2013 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Weldcraft Marine 22 Select 2013 measures 22,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 20,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2013 at 2,0 feet (2013). At 25 lbs and 34 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.
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 2013 at 22,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Weldcraft Marine 20 Renegade 2013 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.
