question, older wellcraft. sorry, i know...

[2182]

i know this is a seacraft site, and i love my seacraft, but i need to step up to a bigger boat. i've been looking at 31 contenders for a while now, but am hesitant to take out a loan for a "toy". saw an 81 wellcraft listed the other day for 30k. its an 81 hull, repowered in 06 w/ 300 yamahas (hpdi i assume). engines have low hours, boat was refurbished in '03 including new electronics. just spoke w/ the owner who claims everything works and boat is in great shape. sounded like an older gentleman, he traded a 38 luhrs for it a few years back and doesnt use it as much as he would like to. my main question, is that when wellcrafts were made right? is it too new? it has the "bullet" design, not the "big bow" design i know is indicative of the dry riding wellcrafts of the 70s. bottom line, it sounded like a good deal, but i trust my CSC family for a second opinion as much as i trust anybody. once again, i apologize for the non-seacraft question.
