Just wondering if anyone has experience/knowledge regarding this model. Reportedly it has a one year old 5.7 fuel injected motor with a reconditioned DP.
Engine serial # 4110141349
Model 5.7 Gi PLKDCE
The owner reports that it was only used in fresh water. The boat has been bottom painted so I assume it is left in the water during the summer. I am a little concerned when I see boats for sale so soon after being repowered.
I plan to have a look at the boat sometime this week (possibly tonight). The only information I have found on the internet so far is that the wiring can be below par and the engine mounts are prone to rot on similar Wellcraft models from the late 1990s. I'm assuming the mounts likely ok if the motor was recently replaced.
We currently have a 1990 21' Larson with the 175hp 4.3l merc so I think this boat may be a nice upgrade. Both my wife and I like to occasionally slalom ski and our 13 year daughter is just learning to ski. We all have no trouble skiing behind our current boat. One small issue we have is the ride quality in choppy water so I hope the wellcraft will be a little smoother.
I plan to test drive it if we like the boat and the build quality is acceptable.
