Quick update on the v21
Finally pulled the lower that was on it, it was trashed. Bad news is the lower I ordered showed up completely not as described. They shipped it with gear lube in it, and when I opened the box gear lube was everywhere, So obviously The seals are no good. Secondly it wouldn’t shift, the shift shaft housing was completely corroded to the shaft. So that lower is getting returned. There’s another one the way. Other than that pulled the VRO warning horn out and replaced it with a very overpriced new one and it works as it should. Hopefully this other lower shows up in good shape and no other issues pop up.

When you buy a wellcraft Steplift your buying a classic hull, it's like buying a 57 corvette sure there old but worth being restored . But when you restore a boat they are not worth like restoring a old vett, you do it for the love of the boat and for yourself . I love the boat and hull design ,

Another quick update.
Got another lower bolted her on and was good to go. Only other issue I had was the VRO alarm. I couldn’t get it to shut up, constant no oil alarm when it was clearly getting oil. Tried for days researching and trying different things. Could never get it to shut up without unplugging the tank sensors. Finally caved and deleted it and premixed. Shockingly the hour meter on the boat worked, it had 341 hours on it when purchased. Have put about 10 more on since. Only issue I’ve seen is I believe the throttle cable Needs adjusted or replaced, the first couple inches of movement on the controls does nothing and all the way forward isn’t getting the motor wide open. Also the fuse panel only has 4 banks. Need to replace that one day so I can run some more electronics!
