Edited: Picked up this bad boy for $800. No power but yammy controls. Floor has soft spots, so I'm planning to redo stringers/floor. Transom appeears in decent shape though will get it inspected and replace/repair if necessary before adding power (sounds a hair hollow around motor mount).

Everything on google images I see looks like a fish-n-ski type of setup. Meh.
I wouldn't really have any use for a boat that length with that deep of a hull though.

From everything that I've ever heard about that hull, it's suppose to be one of the best ever made.

It was a freaking Awsome boat and I would still have it today but for fricking Katrina.

Good commercial crab boat. Or ski boat. Too much draft to get where i fish.

NO WAY. There is little to NO flotation in them.
We sank one twice in one night camping out on the islands due to storms.

When I hear Wellcraft I immediately think of fishing for northern pike or something similar. Just not a boat I picture in the south, not to say they are a bad boat but my pre conceived notion.

Boston Whaler's are one of my favorites because you really can't sink them.

Growing up my dad had a 1989 21' deep V Wellcraft. Awesome ski boat on Toledo, good boat to run to rigs offshore, but places like Big Lake are too shallow for it in many spots.

That's a bad arse hull. Grew up ratting around on the gulf coast in one of those. Sucks about the soft spots.
You could spend a fortune trying to redo that boat. I say hang a motor on it and enjoy it while you can w/o spending anything; you obviously didn't overpay. Don't get stuck w/ a money pit, those hulls are fairly easy to come by on the gulf coast.

Without a doubt. Going to keep it simple for now. Hull itself is in very good shape, so I'll probably skip the new gelcoat even though it would look boss.
