V20 on eBay

Boat's about a 2 hr. drive, so I'm contemplating a bid without seeing it in person to give it some love taps w/ the rubber mallet. Like the ad says, the trailer is worth close to the starting bid price, but in a way that makes me even more hesitant: Like the owner may be admitting the boat and motor aren't worth much, but here's this snazzy, newer trailer. I emailed the seller to see if he'd give up any more info.

While I gotcha', what year did Wellcraft start going with a closed cap at the transom and/or a self bailing deck? From the two I've seen in person, I know it's somewhere between '77 and '83.

Also, what are the fuel tank configurations for all the vintages? The '77 I looked at had (2) 20 gal. tanks on each side. The '83 presumably had a single tank of unknown capacity.

Thanks and sorry for all the questions. ;)

well I would not by with out going to take a look!! Ask the guy what he wants for the boat right out and that you will come and see it and if you like you will buy!
He can end the auction as long as there is no bids on it.

The gas tanks are 2 - 20 0n the side and eaither a 60 or 65 in the floor.
I have the two 20's on the side and added another 25 were the I/O was.

Trailer looks good!

But you ned to check out the transom and stuff!! You might end up with nothing more then fire wood!

I would also not put to much thought into the motor, I am sure this is why it is going cheap!! But use that to get cheaper?

Good Luck
