Wellcraft VS Glastron (20 -22' bowriders)

[Flood Runner]

Oh yeah, and a Maxum also..Looking at these boats for a possible purchase (of one of them)<br /><br />The 1st is a (20.5')1998 Glastron GS-205/RB with the 4.3 Volvo.. Very nice and well maintained..<br /><br />The 2nd is a (21') 1997 Wellcraft Eclipse with the the Volvo 5.7. Also very nice and well maintained.<br /><br />The 3rd is a 2000 Maxum 1900SR with the 5.0 merc.<br />Also very nice shape..<br /><br />My questions are do any one of these have anything better about them than the other? Ride, quality, power, etc...<br /><br />Thanks.. OH yeah, the purpose of this boat will be for Family Recreation. Tubing, swimming off of, light fishing, and crusing around.. I'm in Florida so i'll be boating in the inter-coastal alot and possibly going out in open waters on occassion. (not big water)<br /><br />Thank You...

I would lean toward the 21' Wellcraft. So long as your truck/SUV can handle it. A professional survey would be in order for a boat of that age.<br /><br />Kelly Cook

Have an older Wellcraft 21' cuddy with a 5.7 Merc, no complaints here. The Glastron and Maxum will not ride as well in open water.

If you are going to be doing all those watersports, then make sure you have a nice size swim platform. Really makes a difference.

I run a 1988 23' Wellcraft CC powered with twin 1.6L outboards. Best riding boat I have had in 35 years.
