I have purchased a Wellcraft boat and I am wanting to find out all information possible about this particular vessel. The HIN is WEL02156N77H-196. Can anyone help me identify The particular model of this vessel?

Hard to tell by the pictures. Might be a 1977 196 Sun Hatch or Sun Cruiser.

So far it looks like the Sun Cruiser.
Anything pertinent you are looking for?

There is absolutely no paperwork with the vessel, and I am having to file for a lost title. I also would love to know just what exactly I have purchased.

Does Tennessee have a boat registration data base that is searchable by you?
Georgia has one and it's scarey. With the HIN (numbers) or the past registration numbers you can find out way too much stuff!

Just judging the numbers on the HIN, and the first picture, it looks like a 1977 year, 2000 Sun Cruiser.

I haven't been able to find a searchable boat registation database as of yet. I am still very new to boating, so I don't know what could be trackable.

It's gonna depend on that States distinctions or capabilities.
Gotta be a '77, 2000 Sun Cruiser

The link you posted for the Sun Cruiser looks very much like what I have here. I have actually emailed Wellcraft themselves to try to get them to send me all information that they can find from the manufacture records. I sent the email Saturday, and am still awaiting a reply.

I am really excited to get this project done and to get it on the water. I will keep pictures coming of the work that is being done while getting this water ready
