Engine specs for the Weld-Craft 2056 9V Bass 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Weldcraft Marine 186 Maverick DV SD 2012 carries 42 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Weld-Craft 2056 9V Bass 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
