1995 V21 in NJ for sale - The former "reelapeelin"

[Parrot6909]

After 2 years of owning her, it's time to let her go to a new home. I needed a bigger cuddy for the kids/lady so I bought a 22' Mako walkaround. It will be a sad day when she sells as this is by far the favorite boat that I have owned to date. I will post pics in the coming days, the last 4 days have I have been fishing like crazy and she needs some soap before I snap the pictures! (Capt. Pete can verify as I passed him the other day on the way back from limiting out on Fluke). I will be listing her on craigslist shortly and the price will be higher but I wanted to let a V20 member have a shot at her for a good price first. Here is the listing that will be going online next weekend:


1995 Wellcraft V21 Steplift ***8211;21***8217; long with a nice 8***8217; beam. She is powered by a super-efficient 2004 Honda 150 four stroke outboard and comes complete with a galvanized dual axle trailer. Fuel tank holds 60 gallons of gas, tank was just pressure tested, cleaned and had a new fuel vent installed. Transom, floors and stringers are solid. The floor in the cuddy cabin was replaced 2 seasons ago (a known weak spots for wellcrafts of this vintage). Boat received brand new seats this year ($450 upgrade), has a new stereo system (spring 2011), VHF (spring 2011). Boat has onboard chargers for the batteries, 2 bilge pumps (both wired to separate batteries for added safety) and a live well. The boat is in overall good condition but she does have some cosmetic issues, various dings and scrapes from 18 years of service so please don***8217;t expect a brand new boat, she***8217;s not. (neither is her price) She is a solid fishing platform that my family and I enjoy regularly.

The 2004 BF150 Honda, the motor has approximately 550 hours on her. Motor was just serviced with a pressure test of the lower unit which checked out perfectly, all new fuel filters under the hood and a brand new racor 10 micron filter as well. Oil change, new spark plugs, Vapor separator tank and all fuel lines replaced within the last 3 months. No expense was spared in making sure she was running great. Fuel burn is extremely economical. Running from my home to 5 miles off of Seaside and back averages 15 gallons of fuel for the day. That is tremendous for a run from Kettle Creek, through the Point Pleasant Canal, out front and back.

The boat comes with a galvanized trailer which is older but I have personally put on over 1,000 miles in the last 2 years with her and never had any issues whatsoever. The dual axle trailer is outfitted with LED lights and bearing buddies.

NADA lists the boat with original power and no trailer for $6070 ***8211;(subtract $1180 for the original motor) They list the Honda for $5175- and the trailer for $530 ***8211; That***8217;s a total value of $10595.00 This boat is being priced well below NADA and market value given its newer four stroke power at $6500 for a quick painless sale.

The boat also comes with extras, bimini top, full enclosure that***8217;s in good shape and lots more. Unfortunately the time has come to get a bigger boat for me and my growing family so she has to be sold. $5500 firm for a V20 member..

Sounds like a great set up......... and certainly priced to sell quickly.

[gw204f]

Great price!!!! Good luck with the sale.

[Blue_Runner]

I was about to say, "The motor alone is worth that" then I saw where you listed the price of the motor.....which isn't far off! Great price.....hope she stays in the WCV20 family!

[cliffpaul2]

Looking forward to seeing the pictures! If you weren't so far away from California, I would be tempted to buy your boat. I've got a clean 1980 V-20 with an I/O, and I've been thinking about investing in a top/enclosure for it. Since I'll probably spend a few thousand on the top alone, it might be better to buy one like yours that's already got one! And your boat is 15 year newer than mine...

[RWilson2526]

I know a guy that needs to buy that boat....Hopefully he can act quick enough on it.

[bgreene]

Put it on ebay -- and let the bidding start at $ 7,500.....bet you get $ 8-9 for it.

[Parrot6909]

Thanks for the comments guys. I got a great deal on her when I bought her and am trying to pass it along. The enclosure side windows will need to be refit to make it snug, the front window needs to be sewn on too, cheap to have done but I don't want to get into haggling so I set a price that I could live with. The bow mount trolling motor needs to come off as that's going back to ozzie and there will be some holes to patch. I just had the motor serviced for over $1600 as my buddy was going to buy it and I wouldnt want anything boat related or otherwise come between us. Unfortunately he totaled his work truck and can't swing the boat now. So...if you guys can pass the word around I would appreciate it. I truly love her but needed a little more cuddy room so I had to move on.

That's minor stuff....... I'd be on my way to check it out if I didn't already have one.

[Blue_Runner]

Cliffpaul = road trip! I started with an old '75 V20 with big plans.....then my '94 V21 came along.

[Parrot6909]

I forgot to mention, there is also a full cover that goes with the boat for while she is on the trailer. I bought it off the auction site, if memory serves it was around $200ish and works great to keep the rain/snow/leaves out. Only used it for 2 months and its in the garage with a pile of other stuff that I didn't list. I can't take pic's today (raining like crazy here) but I have some recent pic's on my phone that I will upload in a bit.

[Parrot6909]

The bottom was bare when I got her from Oz. The bottom was professionally done, she was sanded, had Interlux 2000E applied and then 2 coats of micron csc (read: no sanding the bottom anymore to remove paint). I had a top coat put on this spring, you won't need to paint her for next season. Powerwash and drop her in. Some of the pictures are from early this spring, you will note that the seats in some of the pic's aren't the new one's. Last pic shows her mojo. Had 7 bigger than that one...only reason she came back with me was due to being gut hooked.

[Parrot6909]

ran out of space...more below!

[rb437]

Seriously. Check your PM. I'll be in Lincroft this weekend and would like to come by. If it was good enough for you and Reel, I'm sure it will be good enough for me. :)

[Parrot6909]

Sent you an email with my cell as I didn't see a pm. Give me a shout and we can work it out.

[foggerty003]

Hey I sent a PM as well
dan 609-661-5581
I'd like to see the boat today. I live in NJ
thanks

[Parrot6909]

Boat is on hold for Rick, once he sees her on Saturday we will go from there. Rick and I spoke for a while today and I am giving him the right of first refusal.

But what about that guy in Dubai that realizes it's a classic boat boat at silly price and offered you $ 50,000 in gold coin for it ?

[Parrot6909]

If the sale price is 50k and doesn't leave my account I will ship anywhere!

[reelapeelin]

Here are some pics of her first clean up when I had her...careful not to lock in on anything you see here, cuz I cannpt say for sure what has been changed, modified, improved...she's been in good hands...THAT I know...

Broke my heart when this one went out the driveway...then I came to know she'd be taken care of and appreciated...

[Parrot6909]

Thanks for the kind words Oz.

She sold this afternoon to Rick, pickup is next week. That whole saying of the best days are when you buy a boat and sell her are the best days of your life...not true. Going to miss her a lot, she was a great boat for me and the family. At least she stays in the V20 family!

Oh it's sold ? Too bad - that guy from Kuwait just offered $ 75,000.

[rb437]

As luck would have it I planned to be in NJ this weekend so it worked out well that I was able to stop in and see the V21. Nice to meet Parrot and check out Reel's old boat. Glad to say that Parrot was asking a fair price and we've made a deal. Looking forward to having a V again. :)

[randlemanboater]

Congrats on the sale...and the buy!

[bradford]

Great boat and good to see it staying in the family.

[rb437]

Last weekend stopped by Parrot's place and checked out the V21 he had for sale and agreed to buy it. Today I went back to pick her up. Thank you to Parrot for an accurate description, a fair price, and no suprises. Always nice to deal with the guys on this board and the "V" family. So the former "Reelapeelin" has a new home in Annapolis and many days of fishing and fun ahead. If I ever decide to sell her you guys will be the first to know.

Reel, I know your out there, when you get time check your PM. I got a trolling motor here that needs to find its way back to SC and before you cut another bow rail I'd like to see if we can arrange a swap.

Rick

[Parrot6909]

I am glad she made it to her new home. Broke my heart watching her leave. I wanted to call you last week to cancel the sale but I knew you were excited so I didn't. Seriously considering getting another when I sell the mako. That last ride to the ramp....time will tell.

[rb437]

I know how you feel. The '89 I sold a couple of years ago needed a new transom, something I knew I would not fix myself so selling her was all I could do. Still was sad to see her go. I am very happy to have the V21. Hope it helps to know that she will be well cared for and enjoyed.
