91 Wellcraft(383's) OR 91 Powerquest(454's)

I am looking at 2 boats of similiar price 18-22k. Both are in great shape and similiar extras/maintenance/etc. The PQ 29' has 2 454 Mags and the Wellcraft has 2 383 stroker crate motors and is 26'. Any thoughts? Top ends are similiar according to the owners(the wellcraft cruises 52mph at 3300 and tops at 70) and the powerquest is 67mph top with cruising speed similiar to the wellcraft. Any thoughts on fuel use and/or personal experience with either specific boat?

Thanks,
Jeff

Where do you boat? What years are they?

I would say go with the PQ for the length since you will want to go bigger anyway.

Both are 91's and all of my boating is in the Lake St. Clair and and Detroit River area.

That's where I boat...I had a Wellcraft 26' Nova...next boat willl be at least a 30'er.

I would go with the PQ as I feel the extra weight..length and a deadrise of 24* will put you way ahead of the WC in rough chop.

Is the Wellcraft the 26' Nova ST the one at Miller Marina?
