This isn't the right boat for you. You are concerned about all the wrong things for this to be your boat. Move on and find something more popular and easier to sell when you are done with it (Fountain, Cig, etc) This is a very serious boat built for poker runs and club racing not for pleasure cruises. The eventual buyer of this boat will have special needs/interests and be willing to ignore the very things you are basing your decision on. He/she will buy this boat solely for the love of what it represents. There are obviously not many of these type buyers around these days. I oughta know.
PS, boat was built for Wellcraft execs to do poker runs. They didn't care about cabins, resale value, loud exhaust, etc.
Good luck with your search.

You're exactly correct about this boat. It is what it is. I own a TS boat and wanted this one for exactly what it is. It will be delivered in a few days. Have not seen it or been in it but the seller (Jim Earle) has been great to work with, and if a few things check out its a done deal. I know I will drop more money into it, but still feel in the end it will be a great boat for me for some time. Unfortunatley the buyers for this type of boat are few and far between, and I will get hossed financally in the end. However boating is cheaper then therapy, and my kind of cocaine (meaning every one likes a high, just so happens my cocaine is boats and its legal

LEOPA has some cool poker runs, Jeff Wilson throws a poker run (baja sponsored), and roger from the board throws a great fun run some time in June. Every weekend is a blast, 4-5 boats always meet up and try to drink the islands dry (no success yet)

As much as you dont want to admit it( because it certainly will devalue the 20 year old Apaches that owners are asking 300 grand for) simply check the offshore only classifyeds all the above APACHES I listed are 6 drive and thouand horsepower per engine.
