Weld-Craft 2070 2009 vs Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 — A Close Look at Two Flats

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Weld-Craft 2070 2009 and the Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 are flat 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?

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Weld-Craft 2070 2009 has a 110-hp advantage over the Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010's 40-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 Weld-Craft 2070 2009 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 with its 40-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Weld-Craft 2070 2009 vs Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Weld-Craft 2070 2009 or the Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010?
The Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 is the longer of the two at 2,0 feet overall. The Weld-Craft 2070 2009 comes in at 2,0 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Weld-Craft 2070 2009 is rated to a maximum of 150 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 tops out at 40 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 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 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 Weld-Craft 2070 2009 measures 94" wide, compared to 84" for the Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010. 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 2009 and Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Weld-Craft 2070 2009 and the Weld-Craft RL 60 (20 ft.) 2010 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.
