Post some pics; I thought the Spyder wasn't released until '87, and all had the short windshield without teak. The bolster seats were an option for the Nova II's also.

Thanks for the post, but that one is on the east coast, I am on the west coast. I'll keep on looking.

1985 nova ii
 

Jmartin,
That's My Old 1985 Nova Ii, He Just Bought It, Then Someone Stole The Boat. I Assume He Just Got It Bacvk, Now Selling.
Wood Around Windshield, Drop Down Bolsters. I Put $22,000. Into The Boat In 4 Years.
Who Ever Gets This Boat Is Geeting Probably The Cleanest Nova Ii. When I Had It, Never Left In Water.

They're tough to find in nice, unmolested condition. I drove to Detroit from Colorado Springs for mine last Spring. Long drive, but worth it.

Very nice looking boat! Was it an actual Spyder, or a pre-version of it? I thought the Spyder wasn't released until '87. It does have the Spyder's black cabinetry.

spyder
 

i was the second owner, had spyder engraved on hatchway, i have the original 1985 wellcraft performance catalogue & it also came with 300hp tempest engines.
also book doesn't say anything about bolster seats ??"

I have a scan of the original '86 spec sheet and it shows bolsters were available as an option.
What was your speed with the 300's? I'm thinking next year I'll freshen the twins and bring them up to about 350hp.
Any place you know of where I could get an '86 catalog? I found one on ebay a while back, but it showed the Spyder and no Nova II, so I think it was really an '87 catalog.

Mine Had 350's Could Run Hard All Day.
I'll Look In My Old Stuff To See If I Have A 1986 Brochure.
