I'm hoping to get some advice on buying a used boat. I'm looking at a 1996 Wellcraft Excel 21SX that appears to be in very good condition. It has a 4.3L with about 300 hours on it. It comes with a 2002 22ft Loadrite trailer. It's in my price range and when checking NADA it falls in the middle of pricing range. So, for you long time boating experts, what's your take on Wellcraft Excel boats? Are there any common issues with these boats in that year? I have researched boat inspection procedures and know that I need to check the deck for mold--How Do I Do That? Is it just a tap check or should I pull up the carpet? Check the stringers--they recommend pulling up the floor and that there are two bolts under the engine cover but their boat is not the same as this boat so any advice on how to do that on this boat would be greatly appreciated, Check the engine mounts for cracks. Is there anything I'm missing? This boat has only been in fresh water lakes here in Oregon.
Thank you in advance for your expert advice!
