Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2010 vs Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2010 against a modified vee Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 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 — Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2010 at 21,0 ft versus Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 at 24,0 ft. At 31 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2010 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 24 Select 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weldcraft Marine 24 Select 2013 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 21 Legacy 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
