Hello everyone, just purchased this boat, and trying to find access to forward bilge. Does it have one, because I do not see any access? I was thinking of pulling the table mount out to see what is underneath?

Investigating the wet carpet in the cabin.

I am trying to test the Vacuflush. It seems to be pumping, but does not shut off. I am trying to determine if it is not building up vacuum, or the vacuum switch is not cutting off. Probably ordering the vacuum pressure gauge from SeaCoast today. I was just wondering if anyone has pulled that unit out to clean back there.

Where is the pump for the floor lockers, I was told it was bad.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello everyone, just purchased my second Wellcraft, a 2000 22WA OB. This will be sort of our in-between boat. Our last boat was a 280 Sundancer, and we are not sure what our next larger boat will be, but we had to have something to get out on the water!

Looking forward to getting know fellow boaters here!
Thanks,
MIke

Just wanted to say hi from lake Ontario been whaching this forum for a while have a 1986 2800 wellcraft Monte Carlo that is used on Lake Ontario and the St Lawrence river.

Hello everybody,
My name is Bud. I have just traded a Harley-Davidson XL1200C for a1988 sportsman 250 powered by a new mercruiser 5.7. I am a noob as far as inboard/outdrives are concerned. I will post photos when I have it all cleaned up and personalized. I am sure that I am in very knowledgeable company and will most likely be picking those wellcraft brains out there. I can't wait to get her out in the briny!
Best wishes and safe boating!
Bud

hello from georgia, picking up my new to me 97 wellcraft 210 coast with a johnson 200 on tuesday, cant wait

Hello. New member here. I am looking into buying a 1983 Nova II 26' . It has twin 350's. 260 HP each. Alpha drives. New gauges. Trim gauges dont work, wiring is toast. But lowers do go up and down fine. Motors have quadra jet carbs. Newer drive shaft bellows. Exhaust bellows are shot. Shift cable bellows were replaced as well I believe. Lots of nice teak and good teak swim platform. Has trim tabs that work. Hull looks great and dont feel any soft spots anywhere except the cuddy floor may be a bit soft or else it has padding under the carpet. Not sure. Always stored inside.
I am looking for any info as to what to look for in considering this boat. I love the looks of it. It has fresher paint and vinyl is very good. It also has a convertible top and side curtains but havent seen them so dont know condition. Trailer is in excellent shape. 4 new tires.

Any help would be very appreciated. Thank You.

Hello everyone. I'm Joe, a new member. Last fall, at 60, I bought my first boat, a 1971 Wellcraft 18 Airslot, from a guy who fished on Lake Michigan with it for the last several years. He kept it maintained professionally spring and fall, so it runs great, but looks were another story. I've already spent more time and money than I expected to, but the closer I get to launching it, the more excited I get. I'm about a week or two away. Late start but.....
I'll post some before and after pics soon.

Hello, and thanks for reading. I have checked EBAY, craigslist and even Wellcraft HQ...nothing! A couple of pub websites and nothing. Their must be someplace to get these. Or is another model and year the same? Like the 1984-1986 Models? Any help would be great...of course the manuals even better!

Hello all! Just purchased a 1983 255 AFT cabin with Single Mercruiser 260. It is in pretty good shape and most everything works. (Knock wood). I have been searching for manuals all over the internet and I am having no luck. Even from the factory. Are any other years or models have a similar design that could fit the bill as far as the manuals?
Any help, hints and comments regarding this boat and year would be great!
Thank you!
