Dan,
Sorry about your problems, but Wellcraft is considered a good middle of the
road boat.

For some reason I really like the look of these boats I've looked at
three of them now in the 1979 area they are all 25' boats with twin 260
hp engines, condition is different between all of the boats I've seen.
I'm currently looking at one located in Florida that is in MINT condition
but needs a few of the new parts installed to completed. I'm looking for
reviews or information on these boats does anyone have comments or
reviews that I can look at?

1) Both engines have been rebuilt
2) Interior is 100% new
3) Hull is in great shape.


Stay away from Wellcraft. They are POS boats. I bought a beginners 17
footer maybe 5 years ago - it was brand new. The engine would not start
after it was sitting off for 30 minutes, dealer could never fix it, two
engine mounting bolts snapped off, the alternator bolt snapped off, all
the buttons were falling off, seams in the seats came undone. The only
thing that didnt break was the hull.

A friend just bought a 50 foot wellcraft, here in Chicago. The engine
compartment started on fire twice. The second time his son ended up in a
hospital for smoke related sickness.

Wellcraft in my opinion is the biggest POS ever made.

Maybe 1979 versions are better. I know that the recent models are very
bad.
