I NEED HELP to restore my Wellcraft airslot 165-sport!! Even what Year it is

[PhishFinder]

Hi ALL- I just bought a Wellcraft airslot 165-sport w/ a Johnson 85 Powershift II and know NOTHING about it. It was going to become scrap but i got it for only $150 w/ the trailer. It was stored in a barn for the last 10 years and its pretty beat-up inside but the shell seems great. I don't know anything about it except the little bit I've read since I bought it yesterday. Any links to a diagram explaining all the different parts or even a way to ID the year would be a huge help. Thanks

The motor is most likely early 70's in vintage. When running it will be great power for that size hull. Your biggest concern is going to be rot. It would be great if, due to being stored indoors, that it ends up being solid. Check the deck carefully for soft spots and the transom needs to be solid with NO flex with you yank or stand on the motor. We need pictures!!!
