Hey guys and girls. I need info form my capacity plate on my 1987 Wellcraft 18 fisherman. My plate has faded so bad, that you can't read it anymore and I want to order a new one from one of the vendors here. So if anyone has a 18 foot fisherman or knows of someone who does, plaese let me know max HP and capacity, persons and gear weight. Thanks

Wellcraftinmass,

I didn't forget. I just didn't make it to the boat. I'm shooting for this weekend.

1982 Wellcraft 18 Fisherman has 150 HP, 5 person. Unsure on weight cap., will check and get back to you later.

my 83 says 2050 or 2085lbs for the weight cap. its hard to read since it is really faded.

as 5 haddocks said, 5 people and 150 hp max.

i was working on her this weekend and thought of this thread. took a pic but it was worse than looking at it in person.

Ok, I stopped by the boat and now have the rest of the weight info.
5 persons or 900 lbs
2315 lbs. gross with motor, persons & gear
150 HP
As i said before this is from a 1982 Wellcraft 18 Fisherman, hope it helps and happy boating.

My sticker is also faded and the numbers that I think I saw from my sticker are not even close to the other posted numbers.

1990 18' center console

6 people 800 lbs

1425 lbs passengers and motor

150 hp max

Could these numbers be right or did I royaly screw the numbers up!

Some please help cuz I'm confused now and I feel like I should be licking windows on a small yellow bus.

(No offense to other fellow window lickers)

I have '78 V-20 and as you can see from the picture my capacity plate was pretty much shot. After several minutes of trying to figure out what it said, I had it. I made a replica of the plate in Excel and took the example and the old plate to a local trophy shop. They made me a new plate in a few days. It turned out pretty good, it only cost $10.00
If you have any questions let me know hope this helps.

I have an 1988 v20 steplift cuddy...I see from the old lit that it weighs 1900 and takes up to a 235hp outboard....

Wondering if anyone knows capacity info on this one...mine doesnt have a plate....saw the earlier info from a 1978 in this thread...but thinking as the hp rating is lower then mine per wellcraft that as the line matured the numbers might have changed as well.

Thanks all for any info.
