1974 Wellcraft Airslot 185 Sport

[dizzyspots]

New owner of a 1974 Wellcraft Airslot. Very clean stored and covered AZ boat. The interior is vintage 70's BRIGHT tangerine with tangerine/black striped Astroturf. 1989 Evirude 140. This boat DOES ride like a Cadillac. Love the "history gallery...cheers Mike

Welcome to the site. We need pictures !!

[dizzyspots]

Here we go...

[dizzyspots]

The boat was covered AND under cover most of its life in AZ. The seats are ORIGINAL 1974 Wellcraft vinyl! The floor and transom are tight and dry. Plans underway include: cleanup the wiring birdsnest, re-align/replace some instruments, switches. Get rid of the Astroturf, replace with Nautolex. change the tangerine to charcoal/gray with fold down lounge seats.
Progress pics to come as we go....

cheers
Mike

I hate to say it but I really really like that retro Orange vinyl. What a cool boat!!!

[jasoncooperpcola]

Kracker is right that is a cool boat. I like the orange. I seen a Wellcraft Airslot leaving the Atv Park monday. She was in the woods covered with green and had a pretty decent tree growing in the back deck. Almost stopped to ask about it but my wallet told me no. You have a very good looking boat.

Yep, I have to agree.... the tangerine MAKES the boat... I'd change the carpet but no way in heck would I change the vinyl color.

[dizzyspots]

oh well the seats are already here...my fishing buddy (my wife) hates the tangerine...so charcoal and grey it is BUT i have a complete set of tangerine seats, cushions etc for a 74 Airslot...cheap but you pay the shipping...

I've always loved airslots... Never saw one as a dualie before. Interesting layout. Welcome to the site. Great find on the boat. :clap:

[Road King Cole]

Congrats on your "new" boat.

And yes, the orange color looks very cool. I would have also recommended keeping her the original color...for someone else's boat.:hi: Not sure I would want it on mine...

For an old girl in that good of shape I'd keep her original. Charcoal grey is gonna be HOT in the sun. Sweet old boat!

Dualie = dual console. A console on each side with an open walk through to a front seating area. What you have.
