Evening. Does anyone have any experience(s) they might share with this particular model? Looking at one, have driven it. Powered by Evinrude 140, seems to perform well. Planes quickly, very dry, cruises easily at 3200 rpm, pulling a skier at that. What should I be on the lookout for with aboat this age? Thanks for the help!

Welcome JHar - Look at the boat the same way you would and other. I have an 1988 23'Wellcraft CC and it is a great boat. I had to replace the transome due to rot but that possibility is there for any boat with wood in it.

Thanks for the info, SoLittle. Didn't realize Wellcraft used that much wood.
