Well, now that summer is closer I got the boating bug again. Sold the last boat last November and heres my new toy. Its a 1985 Wellcraft Nova. The boat runs great and is a very smooth ride for only being 23 ft. I put thru hull exhaust on it last week and starter the stereo system today. We got alot of the pin striping re-done and the whole boat buffed out last week also. Heres the link to the boat. Let me know what you all think. The link is the marina I work for and bought the boat from.

Oh you will have some fun with that! Wellcraft makes a pretty solid boat IIRC. That 260hp should move you along pretty good too! I can't wait till the water warms up so I can get out!

How much does a boat like that go for?

Very nice.
Looks clean!

You of course know the 2 favorite days of a boat owner?


The day you buy it and the day you sell it!

The Nova's are nice boats that will always look cool no matter how old they are. I used to have a 25' Chapparal Villain that was a real nice boat but the gas started to get real expensive. I would burn 25 gallons an hour easy. Then I bought a 16' Glastron Carlson speedboat with a 150hp Johnson V6 that was a cool boat. A couple years ago I traded it in for a BassTracker ProTeam 175. I love the bass boat.

This boat was listed at $8,900 but I got it for $6,000 cause I work for the marina I bought it from. If my batteries are good on the camera I'll run down and take a few more pics in a few minutes. No galley in the ole' stabbin cabin! Just a seat on each side and a bed in the front. Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Yeah, in the middle of the audio setup now. Gotta have the romance in the ole stabbin cabin. I told my Fiance there is only two reasons for that cabin, her or her mamma! She don't think it's quite as funny as me!
