You can call WellCraft with the HIN number and maybe some there can give you the model number, or at least guess on what was used for that boat at the time.. with so many different brands and models of base mounts that's tough.

I have seen different bases with the same brand of pump and the base changes with the different models or sizes . so you may need to do a recon mission first.

I hope you don't have to replace the base as it can be screwed and epoxied to the hull.They are designed to separate on most brands for maintenance and replacement once you get the exact model.

Being that its a 97 the pump in the boat is probably not being made the same anymore. The brand my still around, but I am almost positive the model will be different.

being its a 97 there is a good chance it has already been replaced at least once already. Go with a good brand like rule, not some cheap piece off ebay, and when in doubt go bigger, when not in doubt, go bigger. When you loose a bellow, blow up a gimble , blow a hose... when the boats filling with water and you cant see land is not the time you want to say " Damn, I wish had bought the bigger one"

Had a bellow let loose while the boat was tied to the dock. checked on it in the morning, still floating but the pump was working hard...

Bellow was only 4 months old, (thats why I preach about buying the cheap ebay bellows) I got lucky on that one...
