Ok so I've been wanting to post this here for a few days. Begreene brought this to my attention a few days ago. Thought it was my old one of which it is just about an exact duplicate. It's being offered in Mn for sale, 2nd owner who bought it from the original 2007. 550 hours and it shows big time! Had I not bought Begreene's last March it would already be in my garage. Climate controlled stored since new. Owner is asking $14,800. I have the info info for anyone who wants to "STEP" up. IF it's still available. Possibly the best original , low hour V-21 existing.

Wow, she looks gorgeous. Almost makes me regret spending all the money to bring mine back from the dead after the hurricane Matthew fiasco. This would have been less $$ and newer and better looking...

It's killing me not to drive up to Minnesota!

It does look beautiful and seems to be a fresh water boat, so not likely much if any corrosion but that painted trailer probably wouldn’t last long the salt.

Fresh water since new. At that price for that boat the trailer is a moot point!

I'm not debating you, but in today's market is that really a good price? I genuinely don't know. To ME yes I think it is because I love the V-20 and V-21s, but what is the market like for a 28 year old boat even if it's in great condition? It seems like I've seen other really nice Wellcrafts listed for sale here and elsewhere that languished on the market.

Current market view of 2-strokes is not helping it either. Not sure, but that seems to be a carbed 150, which i think is the best one to have.

I know i m showing my age, but i miss the teak accents also.

That is a great deal if u want that boat

Well if it languishes much longer it will be in Va! Go price ANY make in the 20-21ft range today & no fishing room! Those that know these boats no better! I sold my pristine, fresh water use only until I acquired it 96 V-21 in 2012 for $12,500 without even trying hard. These boats have now entered into the classic category. Do I need 2 1996 V-21's? No but damn that thing is mint!
