    1983 Wellcraft 248 fisherman - tare out complete.

    After 5, trips out on the cheasepeake, I decided it was a keeper. The floor was spongy - so one thing led to another, and I'm proud to proclaim that I'm planning a full restoration/customization. A very solid boat, but they didn't encapsulate the wood back then. This poor thing sat for 14, years...
