the bottom paint plays tricks on your eyes. I don't know what brand of boat it is, the forward deck looks a lot like a 18 Wellcraft, the rest of the boat looks a lot like a Key West. Not a bad looking boat

1989 18ft Wellcraft. Took us about 45 seconds to thank the guy for his time and leave. Original power. No thanks...

Thanks for all the input on this!

Cool

If it's been maintained there's nothing wrong with original power or a boat that's built in 89. Hell, around here, some people think an 89 is "like new".

But obviously, an 18 is not what you're looking for, and $7500 is (to me) the high side on price. Still, take away those horrid graphics and it's not a bad looking boat.

Good luck with your continuing search. Keep us posted on your progress and don't be a stranger.

I agree with you completely that the 89, if maintained, possibly rebuilt could be a dependable motor and a decent purchase. However if youre advertising a 91 20 Wellcraft and i get there and its a 89 18 Wellcraft, my faith in the motor's 'maitenence' is beyond questioned.

Will not be a stranger, really hoping to find a v-20 soon!

Totally agree with you on the questionable maintenance.

Here's a good looking boat on Craigslist in NJ you might be interested in. Looks good and it's new wires tells me the owner takes care of it. And it's $2000 cheaper than the 18' footer.

looks like a good deal. boat looks clean. looking at helm shot tru the windshield at the two platforms i would guess the boat to be a 1979. its set up like my old v20 it was a 79.
