Opinions on 2000 Wellcraft 3000 Martinique

[rowekmr]

Hello I am considering a Wellcraft 3000 Martinique with Volvo’s 5.7l’s and DP outdrives and can’t find much info on them so wanted to ask for opinions and experiences on this model.

It's a 24+yr old boat, this boats actual condition now is more important than anything else

That is a well made quality boat so you have a good starting point.Consider hiring a professional to check the entire boat out for you from stem to stern.You can also request 2 sea trials.The 1st before you hire anyone and see how that goes.The 2nd if you plan to move ahead so you have a pro sea trial it for you.Lots and lots of things to check. Engines,outdrives,intermediate housing/gimbal etc. Charlie

Good advice above!
I owned Wellcrafts for 20+ years, good boats but condition is everything.
One of my slip neighbors had a 3000 Martinique, very good layout.

A pre-purchase survey from an accredited marine surveyor can save a whole lot of potential issues.
I HIGHLY recommend you get one for a big boat.
