Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 vs Weldcraft Marine Select 22 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 vs Weldcraft Marine Select 22 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 at 21,0 ft versus Weldcraft Marine Select 22 2005 at 22,0 ft. At 31 lbs and 34 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.
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: The Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 and Weldcraft Marine Select 22 2005 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
