1980 wellcraft fisherman

[C. MCCORMACK]

I recently got this wellcraft 18' center console and it is my plan to restore and bring back to sea worthy condition. It is exactly what i have been looking for as a project and i happened to stumble upon it working at a customers house, after making small talk about it buried under some trees and fallen leaves it ended up they were looking to just get rid of it. If anyone out there may have any personal experience with wellcrafts and would like to share there experience and or knowledge about i would certainly appreciate any help possible. I know the deck is soft under most of it and it needs to come off to repair, i'm sure it will need much more structure work as well, but so far as i see it for the age it seems to be in fair condition.

Thank you ! I will definitely be reading around here, the information available so far seems to be really good and it is also nice to see alot of others who have been doing this for some time that offer good advice. Today we plan to tear this boat apart and see for sure what's going on inside with the structure.
