bump for the weekend......

$2,000 No-BS price.....

A lot of value here!

The motor alone can be resold on eBay for $1500 (already seen several sold ones this vintage). Strap it to a pallet and freight it!

That would leave you into this for $500!

Heck, then sell the Loran-C with Antenna etc, there's guys out there LOOKING specifically for the XJ-1, for a $100 or $200 say......(seen guys pay even more than that)

Then the SPARE PROP (damn good shape BTW)......gotta bring a $100 or more.

Boat's almost free now

Repaired the trailer today.

She's ready to go anytime!

Oh, also putting a new set of plugs in the motor, it's due.

$2,000 guys........chump change.

74Formula233 · 10-23-2006, 10:06 AM

Put a new set of NGK's in her and that damn Merc runs like new again!

I almost wanna keep her LOL!

Had a question or 2 about the transom.

i.e. Has it been cut down? etc

No, it has not been "cut down". You can see this in the brochure pic below, the opening matches what is shown in the pic. (Short Shaft setup.)

There IS a notch cut on the port side opening.....we did not do that.

It was there when we bought the boat in 1982, so it had to have been for the original Merc for some reason. But I don't see any importance there.

We left the trim off when we did work to it a while back and sealed the top with 5200.

FYI, I have the same boat (1978) and it has the same notch. This is an incredible hull. I took a friend rock fishing in January and when we got back, he said "I wish my boat was that big". My friend owns a 20' Seacraft and what he was saying is that the 20' Wellcraft feels much bigger. I too have some transom issues and plan to do the repairs with a bracket and re-power. By the time I'm done, it will be a 23' and will go just about anywhere. For $2000 and a little work, someone will have a nice boat.

Thanks for this post Dave, kind of confirms my feeling that the notch was either "Factory" or was necessary for the original power, especially with your hull being only a year later. This boat had the original 1977 200 Merc Black Max on it when we bought it in '82. That blew the powerhead in '84.

Couple more weeks, if she doesn't sell, the motor will be winterized and she'll be covered back up for the winter.
