Default Wellcraft maybe i will keep it

I still never put the wellcraft up for sale anywhere else, now i am in the process of selling a couple other boats i have, and contemplating on keeping this one and towing it behind my motorhome, does anyone know if you can mount a bar on the back for pulling skiers and tubes that would go over the motor? Just was not my ideal tow around boat, but who knows.

Look at Reelapeelin's signature. The boat has a wakeboard tower. I'm sure he can tell you better than anyone how to set it up.

I think it looks like a very nice boat. Question the wood plank across the transom ?

Year engine and compression ?
Is the floor and transom solid ?
What does the boat need ?

Thanks

Default wakeboard tower ?

Well i looked around on the sight and could not seem to find the pictures of the wakeboard tower, can any one send me a picture to [email protected] If i keep think i definatley need one of them.

For bgreene---sent you some more pics, the plywood is the mount for the trolling motor has a wired control for it up front, motor is original motor, hull and transom are solid as can be, not sure on compression i could get but i a m sure it will be good.

Here's the ski-post they're talking about...I had it on my '74 and the 21...it worked well for years for wake-boards and tubes...I liked it because it was removable when it was fishin' time...

You can barely see it in the photo below...it mounted higher in the 21 because I was able to base it on the front wall of the splashwell...mount it the higher the better...

Thanks

Geo, I used mine for towing an inflatable w/no problems...and we put it thru some pretty good trials!!...I will qualify that by saying we only had a round disc shaped inflatable that really didn't produce much drag...

As far as mounting...two of the rear mounts go THRU the transom and are pretty heavy-duty...the pylon itself thru-bolts to the floor or in the case of the 21, thru-bolted to the top of the front splashwell wall...it had a 5-bolt pattern which only allowed for 4 bolts to attach, but we never had any problems...

The biggest strain we put on it was trying to get some pretty big guys outta the water who didn't know how to wakeboard...some made it, some didn't...either way, there was a LOT of pull on that thing and it never faltered...

I found some pics...this in the 21...





Hope these help...we really worked this thing...my next boat will have another one just like it...
