OK, I am also looking at 1997 Wellcraft Excel. I believe the model is a 19SSX with 4.3 Merc, stainless Merc prop., power steering, really good condition. Owner claims speeds in high 50's. I am going to try it out soon. Asking price is $7,000. What should I look for when checking out this boat?

Thanks
DG

Re: Wellcraft Excel decent Boat?

I had a 1996 Wellcraft Eclipse 1950SS and they are great boats, I had the 4.3L V6 Volvo set up and it was a very reliable and well built boat. Sold it recently for $7500.00 and it was in pristine shape. It all depends on the condition. If it has snap out carpet it is a lot easier to find rot. Other than that they were a very well built boat.

Do you remember what prop pitch you had on your Wellcraft 1950SS? I have the same boat Volvo 4.3L SX using a 3 blade 14.5in, with 19in pitch and want to try a 4 blade prop but considering what is the best pitch. Currently I feel with just two aboard I'm at the point of over revving the motor.

Topic closed, its been 11yrs, unlikely to get any reply to your query.

Start a topic about your Volvo 4.3 and over revving w the wrong prop.

The prop forum is where you want to ask....
