All Original 1972 Wellcraft 165 Sport Airslot

Postby 1972Airslot » Mon Jul 15, 2019 8:54 pm

I am new to this forum but wanted to share some photos of a really nice, all original, 47-year old Airslot. The boat was purchased by to my father in 1974 and was trailered to lakes in NC until 1979 when he moved to Virginia. The boat has been rarely used since but has been garage kept and meticulously cleaned and winterized. The 125 Evinrude was just checked out by a mechanic and is in good running order. He recommended a new water pump as a precaution due to age and lack of use. The boat has a nice bonnet, custom tarp and trailer with current license. We are considering selling it and the mechanic suggested we reach out to this forum for help determining the value. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!

I just got a 1978 165 Airslot needs work but it's expected I will be rebuilding the transom and when done I'll have a real nice safe boat
