Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 vs Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a modified vee Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 against a deep vee Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 at 20,3 ft versus Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 at 22,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 tips the scales at 174 lbs — 161 lbs less than the Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 at 13 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 has a 100-hp advantage over the Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 and its 250-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 with its 150-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 vs Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 or the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012?
The Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 is the longer of the two at 22,1 feet overall. The Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 comes in at 20,3 feet, making it roughly 1,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 or the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012?
For trailering, the Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 has the edge at 13 lbs dry weight versus 174 lbs for the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 is rated to a maximum of 250 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 tops out at 150 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 2070 Pro Bass 2013 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 is certified for 6. 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 Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 measures 98" wide, compared to 92" for the Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013. 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 2070 Pro Bass 2013 and Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Weld-Craft 2070 Pro Bass 2013 and the Weldcraft Marine 201 Maverick DV SD 2012 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.
