Ya know, Air, I can't argue with your logic one bit! *I am interested in what level "restoration" this boat has received. *

...trade yer house? *Damm, where would you live? haha

Is it just me, or does this boat look like it's had bottom paint in the past?

Re: 1978 Wellcraft v-20 cc
 

Well, it looks like a new transom and console. I could be wrong, but I don;t think that is a factory 78 console? The bow rail is a low profile "Striper" rail that was standard back in 78'. From the few details I can see in the pics, I'd say it was fairly thourough and the resto.

Heck, its got new power, which means at least a new wiring harness for the motor and new gauges for the ETEC. Seems to me that it would have been foolish not to rewire the boat at that time.

My big concern would be the choice of the "HO". Thats the big block Etec and weighs 100#'s more the the regular 200. I'd have to see her in the water, where the water line is in relation to the scuppers.

has anyone asked why he is selling :-/

Re: 1978 Wellcraft v-20 cc
 

Air: I agree with ya 100% on the HO choice and weight. Slinger made the right choice IMHO with the small block. (Man, I can't wait for a performance report from him on that one!)

Still would like to know if it was a "liner-off" restoration on this boat...new fuel tank, etc, etc.

Re: 1978 Wellcraft v-20 cc
 

I don't know... I love our V's, and I like this one a lot, but if I had $20k to spend for a CC, this one would be high on the list...

Re: 1978 Wellcraft v-20 cc
 

let me say this i dont have to sell and really doesnt matter if i do or not. the restore was 100% deck off this is the orginal console and the tank is still in the console. the weight for the ho was 80 lbs more and i still use the scruptors as normal guys i paid 16000.00 for the engine it has less than 10 hrs on it

Re: 1978 Wellcraft v-20 cc
 

Bygrace, How do these boats compare to the V's as far as dry ride and rough water performance?

Re: 1978 Wellcraft v-20 cc
 

MP,

I really don't know how they compare on ride; I've never ridden either one. Sorry.

Some of the more experienced guys might be able to tell us...
