Wellcraft Boat Owners Forum

Hey all. I've wanted a boat since I was a Kid. I'm 45 now, with a family, one graduated HS this past weekend and a Freshman finishing up. My wife gave me the green light on a Boat, (Once I emptied out the back yard), for a FREE boat and trailer I found on 'Letgo' I just got it pulled in my back yard and the previous owner told me it's a 1971 Wellcraft. With some research I'm finding out the model is an Airslot. Not sure of much else. I believe it's a 17-18 foot. The trailer is in good shape, but needs the wiring redone as the lights don't work.
The floor is dead, so I'm about to start a project with NO experience. I'm just watching a LOT of youtube vids to figure out what I might be in for.
ANY and ALL suggestions and advice would be appreciated! I just pulled up the carpet, and now I'm not sure where to go from there. Hoping to get some cardboard this weekend to map the floor to have a pattern to cut the plywood when I get that far.
Again. If anyone has any suggestions or advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm in NH if anyone is local, and can meet up for some tips or checking things out.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome, good luck with your project, Airslot are a real classic please post some pics as you go

I will. Thanks! Any idea where I might get my hands on a copy of schematics or hull plans or anything that will give me an idea of what i'm getting into in tearing up the floor?

Keep searching the web, that's all I can tell you getting responses here is tuff, maybe an antique boat website

Just joined this forum and have a 2000, Wellcraft Martenique 2400... trying to address some moisture in the cabin, any suggestions on where to post questions ?
Thanks
Bill
