Re: Award winning Wellcrafts.

I think mine is an award winner...
I have people all the time-even today at the marina- stop and tell me how much they like my 1984 26 aft cabin. Its not really shinney ,but a little faded.It has several small dings , the seats have a few rips & tears and it usully has a slime stains on the waterline since that were it sits year round. i try to keep her clean and the bird & spider poop off her-loosing battle.
I am proud to own her and think others see the hull lines and quality construction. When I look at simular size /type boats I feel lucky to have what I have. Everything looks right-Sure the newer ones are nice but for what I paid it's great.

It does have a 1996Mercrusier 7.4 (300hp) with a Bravo3 duo-prop that scoots along just fine. also has HVAC-Genset-hot water heater- decent bimini tops ,power anchor.
Sorry to boast but we have a saying in Texas-
" It ain't braggin' if you can do it".
