Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 vs Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 against a flat Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 has a 115-hp advantage over the Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007's 35-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 20,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 vs Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 or the Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007?
The Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 is the longer of the two at 20,3 feet overall. The Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 comes in at 16,0 feet, making it roughly 4,3 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 is rated to a maximum of 150 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 tops out at 35 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 is certified for 4. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 measures 82" wide, compared to 7" for the Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 and Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Weld-Craft 2060 Pro Bass 2013 and the Weld-Craft CDS 48 (16 ft.) 2007 are built by Weld-Craft. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
