Get a survey done. That should settle any concerns. I know a really good surveyor out of the LA area. He'll scare ya out of buying almost any boat!

Looks like it has less cockpit space than my daycruiser jet with saddle tanks did. The upholstery on the cabin seats looks to have been poorly redone.
I think he'll be lucky to get the $20K.

Yeah , stop looking a gift horse in the mouth!!Are you really go to buy something in Cal. and drag it back to new york???Cuda is right !!! besides for all intents Wellcraft is out of business, the economy is on its azz and you still got a saltwater boat!!! At any other time that boat would have been gone in a heartbeat , but not now....The boat seems to be in half way decent shape but look for something closer to you... you will not regret it.


Jim

And stay away from saltwater boats if you can --- Fresh water boat only,that way even if you use it in saltwater you will know that you corroded the boat on your own with no else to help you.........

If current photos, clean/nice boat. My two cents would be low $20K range. My partner and I learned from my father to stay away from salt water boats. But we have made a few exceptions in past after flying down to inspect and get right on price.
