Re: Anyone know about Wellcraft 192 Classic
I've owned an 89 classic 192 for 4 seasons now and I like the boat a lot. I replaced the lousy stock charging system with a retrofit alternator kit. I did some of the work and paid my mechanic to pull the harmonic balancer. It's an excellent improvement. If the 165 motor is running well, then you should have a good experience, if you take care of it. It has enough power to do what you want, but still good on gas if you go lightly. I replaced the starboard back to back seats with a bucket seat and the boat now has a ton of floor space, more than most. The cuddy is functional for my young kids on the weekends. My wife and I sleep on the boat a couple times a year. I'd love if the cuddy was bigger but it is pretty comfortable for two once you cram yourself in.
All that said, great boat, but I would say save a little more money and buy either the Excel cuddy or a Nova, which are just awesome boats. The Nova is a sick boat. I drove one with a 496 mag and it flew. The cuddy was huge too. Another con about the 192, it was made as a river boat, so it's not all that comfortable on chop. Put it on flat water and it flies. hit me back if you have any more questions.
