Both the Weld-Craft Stick 2012 and the Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 are modified-V designs, both built in aluminium, so 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 measures 21,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Weld-Craft Stick 2012 at 15,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 tips the scales at 3 100 lbs - 2 600 lbs less than the Weld-Craft Stick 2012 at 500 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Weld-Craft Stick 2012 carries a rated maximum of 40 hp. Engine data for the Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Weld-Craft Stick 2012 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Weldcraft Marine 21 Legacy 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Weld-Craft Stick 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
