Hello

[dmoore]

Anyone seen begreene??

[spareparts]

say his name three times and he'll show up in the political thread

[dmoore]

Ha! Good one! But I want to buy his boat....

[spareparts]

I've heard he spends a lot of time on the bass barn. I don't know personally as I've never been on that site. Just post up how great Trump was and he will be along shortly.

He posted in the repairs thread the other day.

[dmoore]

Thanks, Do you guy's know if he sold it?

[steplift20]

I didn't see any of his post anywhere,but my guess is he is going to vote for Donald J Trump in 2024 but can't face up that he was very very wrong with the Biden crime family . Hope he is ok.

Dmoore, given the age these boats are now, and the fact that hey were mid level boats at best, construction wise. Its going to be very hard to find one in the shape you are looking for. You might find one on a fresh water lake somewhere, but I doubt you'll find one thats been in salt that will be up to your level of interest. I'd be looking for a Pursuit/Tiarra the usually have glass stringers and composite floors, so you wont be worrying about that. They are of a higher build quality than the Wellcraft's, and they still produce a cuddy type boat, so theres more to choose from.

Spareparts,I finally found something I can disagree with you about
The wellcraft 20 foot steplift especially the 1978 model is the finest quality boat ever made . Much better than makos ,pursuits,Bertram's formulas and the New York ferry boats. If you want a great ,solid dependable boat. Wellcraft steplift 20 foot 1978 model is superior to ALL other boats and best looking in its class ( that's the truth too) sorry spare I just had to disagree with you this time.

You are correct, I have found one that has been used on a fresh water lake since new and it's a cream puff, 1983 with a 305 upgraded to a 350 with 2 hours on it. Now if I could only show it to you!

Good looking. Make sure to check the bellows for cracks, dry rot, etc.

if your thinking that windshield looks a lil funny it's because its not the original. It's laid back a bit. A tree branch hit it and he installed a more modern piece.

Never mind, I only deal with sane, rational conservative individuals anymore..In any case 20k will not put him in those catagories. Besides I found my pristine fresh water use only V20 yesterday!

[spareparts]

I/O...It was an optional 305 originally..brand spanking new Mercruiser 350 now. I'm going to install a closed cooling system like I did on the 74. My cousins 84 I just found has the rubber rubrail this 83 has the aluminum. Am I to guess last year for aluminum was 83?? Thank you for the compliments, Dave
