Default Re: 1980 Welcraft Retail Price List

RAP - you are lyin - there's no way you had a 67ft T-bird 17 footer before you went V20. Norfolk-and-way! That's too creepy. I've said before that we think alike about certain things.

Mine's a '68. You don't see many of them. In fact, I've never seen one that looked like mine.

It truly is an amazing hull. I took it to Murrell's last weekend with a buddy. One day we had 25mph winds blowing 1-2 ft chop across and against the top of 3ft swells and my little 17 (70hp) jumped right on top of that crap - never, EVER, has gotten me wet.

In the 5 years I've owned it I've only taken 1 wave over the front (down at Hatteras Inlet - can you say "SCARY") which was about 7ft high. Actually, the wave didn't come over...it was after we went over the wave the front of the boat slammed down nose first on the backside and water came over the front but just rolled around the windsheild and down the side.

I'll miss that boat once I have my V20 ready. Best boat I've every owned.

You still got yours? Bet it would really haul with that 140! My 70 pushes mine over 30.
