2019 Duckworth 18 Advantage

2019 Weldcraft 18 Angler, 2023 Yamaha 90hp (28 hrs)

Hardcore fishing boats don’t get any harder working than the Weldcraft Angler series. For starters, the 34” side height, 66” wide bottom and 90” beam are of big-catch dimensions. Surprisingly affordable, the Angler is generously sized in your choice of 18’7” and 20’7” lengths. Seaworthy, durable and secure, it sports a full vee-bottom for seaworthy handling and a smooth ride at all speeds. Beyond its distinctive style, the Angler is easily customizable to be the exact fishing platform you need. Ample options for storage, flexible seating arrangements, and long side trays for rods and tackle, give you the most usable space available in the Angler’s class. So, cast your fishing rod and let the yardwork wait.

It’s tough, quick and agile, but owners continuously describe their Anglers as “simple.” Easy to tow with a small truck or SUV, easy to load and unload even by yourself, and on the water, it drives like a dream and fishes circles around other boats. With the Angler, a day on the water doesn’t require another day of prep and second day of clean up. Just hook up, head to the water and enjoy.

The current leading competitor in this category trails behind the 18’ Angler. Simply put, we offer 28” of interior freeboard (not 27”), 34” sides (not 31”), 27 gallon fuel capacity (not 24), a 90” beam (not 85”), a 130” interior deck (not 127”), and over 72” headroom with top (vs. 70”). Not to mention tops with 1” square aluminum and metal fasteners (instead of the usual round tubes and plastic). Plus a slick vinyl side graphic that’s new to the Angler line.
