I ran across this deal and am torn. I really like the boat, and it has great potential, and for it's age is in really great shape. What I know it needs is 1. Engine work, it runs, but per the owner it has a knock,, possibly rod or lifter, but I haven't heard it. They did have it out over the weekend though. 2. The rear cabin wall will need repair or replaced. It's showing decent rot at a couple of edges, but for it's age, it's not terrible. 3. The rest is mostly cosmetic or just general updating. It does have several new seats and updates already completed, but will need more. The hull is in good shape overall and from what I could tell, all of the fiberglass was in great shape.

Let me know what you would think it is worth, and "if" it would be worth fixing up.

I love that boat, but am partial to 1978 Wellcrafts!
I would check for further rot at the very least.

I like the boat as well,,,, I think it has alot of "Character". My biggest thing is I don't want to get into something that is going to cost me alot of money, and not get anything in return when/if I decide to sell. I can't seem to find much information about it, like which drive it has, and any detailed specs and such.
