Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV 2013 vs Weldcraft Marine Select 24 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV 2013 vs Weldcraft Marine Select 24 2005 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV 2013 at 22,1 ft versus Weldcraft Marine Select 24 2005 at 24,0 ft. At 19 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 201 Maverick DV 2013 carries a rated maximum of 250 hp. Engine data for the Weldcraft Marine Select 24 2005 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 Select 24 2005 carries 93 gallons versus 62 gallons in the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV 2013. 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 Select 24 2005 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV 2013 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 Select 24 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weldcraft Marine Select 24 2005 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 201 Maverick DV 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
