When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Weld-Craft Jon Boats 2011 and the Weld-Craft RL 36 (12 ft.) 2007 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?
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 15 hp for the Weld-Craft Jon Boats 2011 and 15 hp for the Weld-Craft RL 36 (12 ft.) 2007. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
Bottom line: The Weld-Craft Jon Boats 2011 and Weld-Craft RL 36 (12 ft.) 2007 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.
