What MODEL Wellcraft do I have???

[99z286spd]

Hi everyone,
Ive been searching for pictures on the internet and such but nothing. I have been wondering what the model name of my "free" CL boat is.

The HIN is WELR4208H586
It is a 17.7 ft boat
Bowrider with outboard engine
Walk through windshield

Can anyone decode the HIN or give me a history of it? Model name?
Thanks
Leon

Well, it's a 1986 model.
I'll have to see if I can find my '85 catalog around here. Maybe that'll help.

Well I checked my '85 brochure and guess what- it's only the performance boat lineup, not the entire model lineup.
I also have a full-line 1988 brochure and their 17 foot bowrider was called the '170 Classic'.
Hope that helps.

Thats kool. I just learned my boat was certified in august of 85 and was the 4208'th boat built that year.
Its funny....Little did i know that on that day in august of 85...when I was just 4 years old...that my first boat i'd ever own was being built.....lol Time flies. Here i am now....married with two kids..oldest daughter is 21 months and youngest daughter is 3 months. I cant wait to get them out and havin fun. Lucky for me my wife seems to have been bitten too. You should have seen her face back when I brought the free boat home You got THAT 4 FREE!!???? she said.. WOW!
