1984 25' Wellcraft For Sale

[Bygracealone]

Hey guys, I just thought I would pass this along...

To make room for my new to me 88 V20, I'm selling my 84 Wellcraft. If anybody is interested, it's for sale on Ebay:

Are you going to put one of those 200 suzukis on your V-20?

[Bygracealone]

Hi Blu,

Probably not. My V20 currently has a sea drive on it with an OMC 185 that may only need a little TLC to get her running.

With all the talk about brackets on this forum, it's tempting to consider converting the sea drive to a bracket and using one of the Suzi's. But, I think doing the bracket work would be more than I'm capable of doing myself. So for now, I'll probably just try to sell the Suzi's as a pair.

Thanks for asking.

[Skools Out]

are you leaving the bracket on the boat too?

[Bygracealone]

Hi Skools,

Do you mean the bracket on the boat I'm selling? If so, then yes, it's included with the boat.

[msbhammer]

Weres the picture of teh boat ??
It was removed from E-Bay. :-[

[Bygracealone]

do you have a title for the trailer? are the floors and transom solid?

[Skools Out]

Hey BR those 225 twins i have would look good on her, what ya think? Does the boat include steering system and is it hydraulic?

[Bygracealone]

Hey guys,

Floor and transom are solid as far as I can tell. The transom and the bracket are holding those big engines with no sign of weakness at all. I can take more pictures for you if you're interested. If any of you live nearby, you're all more than welcome to come and see her. She looks good for her age, but she's old. As I said, she could use a little TLC.

I do have the title for boat and trailer. The trailer was signed over, but I haven't registered it in my name since I didn't plan on towing the boat outside of my community; there's a boat launch just down the street from my home.

Steering does come with the boat, but it's not hydraulic.

Since the first set of engines were replaced, I've not been able to get things straightened out power wise. Plus, the boat is too big for me. I'm fairly new to the boating world. My eyes got big :o when I first saw this boat and I had to have it. So, I got it. Very much something a novice would do... Slowly, but surely I'm learning some lessons (I hope).

[Skools Out]

yeah i'd like to see some more pics i'd like to see the old motor well and the top of the bracket where the motors mount and the plate mounts. some of the dash closer up. Does all the wiring work on the ship currently? my email for pics is

Thanks Todd

[Blue_Runner]

I thought about you when I first saw it Skool ;) Already got the bracket! 120 gallons should make for some decent range too!

[Bygracealone]

Skools,

The wiring isn't pretty, but it works as far as running lights, dash lights, horn, bilge pump. I will be taking off the guages related to the engines. I seem to recall that only one of the two battery guages was functioning.

[Skools Out]

yeah i have a set of twin's gauges and controls that are for Johnson/Evinrude that would work. I thought about BR's twin 140's to save on fuel, hum still thinking on twin 225's or 140's hummmmmmmm ??? ???

Heck i might ask the neighbor about a set of twin Yamaha's at cost in 4 stroke 200's

[Bygracealone]

The boat had Suzuki 140's when I bought it. Strangely, they were 20"... Apparently they worked, but only for about ten minutes during my first time on the water :-/

[macojoe]

I use to fish on a boat just likem that one!! *Use to go 30 miles out and cod fish to are 500 pound limted and head home.
Thats the boat I caught my Maco on, and got my name *;D

[Bygracealone]

Maco,

Maybe it's the same boat ???. Previous owner was an older man by the name of Tom Jordan. I believe he lives in Whittier, NC. He used to take the boat out offshore off the gulf

[macojoe]

No I live in Mass. And it was sold here with brand new I/O set up about 6 years ago.

[Bygracealone]

Hey guys, just a quick point of clarifcation with regard to my boat that's for sale.

Skools may be especially interested in the following:

I have it listed as a model 250, but it's actually a 248. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused...

[sfprovyn]

The 248 sportsman was an excellent boat and I had an 84 which in my opinion cut through the chesapeake chop as well as the big heavy Grady off shore 24 which my friend had back in those days. The only problem with the 25's of the 80's was they could of all used a much smaller cockpit and more fishing space but they were great boats and easy to walk around and sit up front. I would love to see that hull with the small design v-20 cockpit. I just had a 235 johnson on mine and with 4 guys and a full fish box I could get 33 out of her on a calm day.Frank

[Skools Out]

hey Bygracealone you said

Finn, I plan on doing the same thing this Friday and Saturday. *I bought my V20 from a guy in Palm Beach and I live near Annapolis MD. *Much cheaper in the long run, plus it gives me an opportunity to see how the trailer behaves, not to mention the opportunity to see the boat with my own eyes before handing over the cash.


So you'll be coming right threw my area. if i win your boat what would you charge to tow it this way on the way to Fla. I'm in NC. Are you coming down 95? if so i could meet you at Highway 70 and 95 crossing.

[Bygracealone]

Skools,

I'd think about it, but I can't committ fully... I'm not sure how much the boat and trailer weigh, but I know it weighs quite a bit. I think I'd be coming close to the max. capacity if I were to tow it with my new Durango.

Another part of my hesitancy has to do with the fact that I haven't registered the trailer in my name and I therefore don't have plates. I do have the title to the trailer. The guy who sold me the boat signed it over to me, but I haven't yet signed it. I thought I would just allow the next person to sign it and get it registered. Is there some kind of a temporary registration that one can get? I know some states don't require registration.

[Skools Out]

oh ok that's fine. if i'd win i'd just come get it. I can pull it fine with my tahoe diesel. It pulls and stops my 250 Sea Ray fine and no brakes on it's trailer either.

[Skools Out]

Hey i got your PM no i didn't receive the ebay invoice. See Tin should have bought this one. It could be his water front condo.

[Skools Out]

hey can you send a pic of the trailer in the front where the wench post bolts to the trailer tongue. i wanted to see if the boat could be slide back about 2 foot on the trailer to be towed easier since it won't have the motors weight.

[Bygracealone]

Hi Skools,

Will do tomorrow after I run a couple of errands in the morning.

[Skools Out]

ok i get off work at between 3 and 3:30
