Weld-Craft CLT 60 (18 ft.) 2010 vs Weld-Craft DSUV Package 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a flat Weld-Craft CLT 60 (18 ft.) 2010 against a modified vee Weld-Craft DSUV Package 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Weld-Craft DSUV Package 2013 has a 110-hp advantage over the Weld-Craft CLT 60 (18 ft.) 2010's 40-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 DSUV Package 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Weld-Craft CLT 60 (18 ft.) 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weld-Craft DSUV Package 2013 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Weld-Craft DSUV Package 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weld-Craft CLT 60 (18 ft.) 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

The Weld-Craft DSUV Package 2013 is the longer of the two at 18,0 feet overall. The Weld-Craft CLT 60 (18 ft.) 2010 comes in at 18,0 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?

How many people can each boat hold?
The Weld-Craft CLT 60 (18 ft.) 2010 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Weld-Craft DSUV Package 2013 is certified for 8.

Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Weld-Craft DSUV Package 2013 measures 85" wide, compared to 84" for the Weld-Craft CLT 60 (18 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.
