Just purchased a 1985 23 ft. wellcraft 230 aft-cabin. It has been in boat-motel storage since 2000. Engine was rebuilt in 1999 and has110 hours on rebuilt engine.
I have no manuals or papers on boat except the engine rebuild bill and work sheets.
I am trying to get Identification model information on the boat, engine and out-drive.
Can anyone help me on these questions? Wellcraft could not or would not help me.:mad:
What is weight of complete Boat
What is correct HP of this 1985 350cid.Mercuriser engine.
What is the model of out-drive? All number are missing.
Out drive looks small to me for this size engine, but what do I know.
What is the gear ratio of out-drive?
What should be the approximate maximum speed of this boat?
Prop seems mighty small for this size boat.

This is the specifications which I have obtained so far
