Default 1977 Wellcraft Airslot 165

Are these any good?? For the price I am wondering just how bad it is.

Cool

The Airslot has a loyal following, much like our V20's. It is a tri-hull, so it's going to bounce a lot if it gets near the ocean or a bay. But they are great on lakes and rivers. Like the name implies, when they get up on plane, the design of the hull channels air under and down each side of the hull, giving a very smooth ride, and since they are tri-hulls, they are very stable when sitting still.

A 16 footer sounds like a perfect size for a lakes runabout, but like Smoke just said, a rotten floor usually means stringers etc. Personally I love the Airslots, but I'd steer clear of this one.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
