1982 Welcraft V20 Steplift

[Chris G]

I am putting our 1982 Welcraft V20 steplift up for sale. I am in no hurry to sell, it is in water for the season. It is 100% turn key. I fish alot, and the few guys I fish with all have larger center consoles, so I just do not use it enough.

1982 Welcraft V20 Steplift powered with a 2003 Suzuki DF140 4 stroke motor (roughly 700hrs) and a 2009 Load Rite trailer[/B]. Boat is in water in Atlantic Highlands marina. It has been professionally serviced, winterized and shrink wrapped by T-Marine every year since owning, as well as upgrades listed below.

-New electrical panel, battery switch & added 2nd battery ('22)

-New helm and steering cable ('22)

-New LED running lights

-Lowrance Chirp 7 Fishfinder

-New radio and antenna ('22)

I've also added courtesy lighting, recreated all welcraft logos, new boot stripe and added Seadek to the dash and bow (will take pics today) No soft spots. Boat is 100% solid. VST filter, high pressure fuel filter, and brand new sparkplugs as of yesterday 9/2.

Asking $9000.

Back in the 90's I owned an 81 Wellcraft Steplift for about 10 years and in my opinion that is one of the best and most seaworthy boats in its class. That massive flare in the bow made it a very dry boat. I remember towing my boat out to Montauk in the fall to striper fish and we were fishing the rip area. Starting getting pretty snotty so we headed back to the marina and I remember easily passing a 25 ft Dixie that was getting pounded and taking waves over her bow. I just looked at him as I easily passed by dry as can be waving and he just gave me a mean look.
Good luck with the sale and the boat looks pristine from the pictures.
