Hello

Dmoore, given the age these boats are now, and the fact that hey were mid level boats at best, construction wise. Its going to be very hard to find one in the shape you are looking for. You might find one on a fresh water lake somewhere, but I doubt you'll find one thats been in salt that will be up to your level of interest. I'd be looking for a Pursuit/Tiarra the usually have glass stringers and composite floors, so you wont be worrying about that. They are of a higher build quality than the Wellcraft's, and they still produce a cuddy type boat, so theres more to choose from.

Spareparts,I finally found something I can disagree with you about
The wellcraft 20 foot steplift especially the 1978 model is the finest quality boat ever made . Much better than makos ,pursuits,Bertram's formulas and the New York ferry boats. If you want a great ,solid dependable boat. Wellcraft steplift 20 foot 1978 model is superior to ALL other boats and best looking in its class ( that's the truth too) sorry spare I just had to disagree with you this time.

You are correct, I have found one that has been used on a fresh water lake since new and it's a cream puff, 1983 with a 305 upgraded to a 350 with 2 hours on it. Now if I could only show it to you!
