Looking to buy a 1996 Wellcraft Eclipse 182 S. Can anyone tell me about it. It has a new 4.3 Merc Cruiser Engine with 205 HP. Took it out yesterday and it has tons of power. Anything that I should be aware of?

Thanks.

Mine's been a huge disappointment lately. Just sits all covered up in the boat port. Man, I can't wait for Summer.

LOL, cracked me up.

p.s. Yet again I will comment on our southern brethren rubbing it in our faces. You'd think with all the time they spend here telling us how great it is where they live, they'd not have time to post about it on the internet :D:p

Gotta do something while provisioning :)

I'm just trying to make it sound really appealing down here, we've got a hundred thousand houses that need to be sold.... Just trying to improve my local economy :)

Re: Anyone not happy with their Wellcraft

I miss my old Proline. My Wellcraft is a better looking boat and probably much better built but basicaly it is a cruising hull set up for fishing. Although the two boats are about the same size Wellcraft is no fishing boat, not nearly as much fishing room as the Proline and the layout is terrible. (Who puts the livewell forward of the Center Console?) Just my opinion but you want a Livewell at the stern where most of the fishing is done.
