1968 19' Wellcraft/Manatee for Sale

I just bought another boat and need to get rid of one fast.

It's a 1968 Wellcraft but I believe it is a from a Manatee design. It has fresh water cooled Volvo AQ125A with a 280 drive. Has power tilt and trim (better than the electric tilt that is standard) and also has hydraulic trim tabs. Has 3 props, one is a NOS stainless that I just paid $150 for. Engine runs and is dependable. Just installed a Pertronix ignition and coil ($100+) which means NO POINTS. It has a slight hesitation off of idle which I suspect is an accelerator pump adjustment. Have Seloc manual for engine/drive.

She is on a 2001 very solid American trailer with hydraulic brakes, however the steel brake lines need to be replaced.

I was going to refinish a section of the hull that had some paint damage so it has an aft quarter of the hull that has been sanded to bare fiberglass. Hull, transom and floors are solid.

I can demo boat in water and will deliver within a reasonable distance.

At $1100 it's a cheap starter boat that needs some work but you can still it use right away.

Whoops... boat is in Central Mass. , Worcester area. Forgot to mention comes witha decent Humminbird B/W fishfinder, two batteries, anchor. New timing belt and tensioner, recent oil change. The engine and drive are 1985. Most of the engine parts can come from the auto parts store, just tell 'em its for a 1985 Volvo 240 Sedan. I beleive that it is generally classified as a 19'.
