Stink i love the way you rigged yours! I am thinking of a 130/140 outboard for mine. If i get it, its going in the garage on blocks. I would like to build my own leaning post and bait tank combo. Maybe with tackle storage on the sides. Not sure how i want to rig the bottom of the console. Spare fuel tank? Overall i love the design and size. My hope is to build a economical fishing rig. One reason i want a v4 two stroke outboard. I?d give up a few mph any day for better mpg.

Here is a sneak peak. I know, it looks rough. But i plan to have it in the garage till next year working on it.

A good power wash and maybe some On/Off and that baby will shine!!...hope it is as solid as it looks...appears everything is there...windshield, rear hatch lids...I think you found the much sought after diamond in the rough...keep the pics comin'...:clap:

I have a one piece stainless bow rail and a grab rail for that console if you want them, both are in great shape....

I will definitely keep that in mind, I appreciate the offer. If i get the boat i will take them. :clap:

How wide of a trailer do i need for the 18 Fisherman? My neighbor has one for sale at a heck of a price, but it is only 4.5' wide between the fenders.

Not 100% sure yet, but i think i won the boat. :sun:

Hope so! Always love to see another project come on the boards. Best of luck!

Its official, i am now the owner of a 1982 Wellcraft 18 Fisherman, which is my first center console boat. I got the V20 off its trailer sitting on blocks so i can get the 18 tomorrow. Final auction price, $250.

Sweet price...congrats!!! :clap:Good luck with her. :beer:
