anyone provide feedback on a 1996 wellcraft excel 23 SE...........have a chance to buy one but there is very little information available online.........i believe wellcraft no longer makes crusier style boats.........thank you

Didn't think to mention that brand before. Don't know that particular model, but the marque is generally OK as far as I know.

Our previous boat was a Wellcraft 330 Coastal, decent boat. That particular one was heavy enough so that diesels would have been better. Not trailerable, though, so likely larger than what you're after. We found it to be a bit cramped after several days on board... but then our norm is different from what you're intending.

thanks chris...............just happened to stumble on it this morning......it has the features the same as the bayliner i was looking at, but i know wellcraft has a better rep..........the one i am looking at is 23 ft, with swim platform and a thing that sticks out front for the anchor......so it is trailerable............it has the 5.7 merc, so it should have sufficient power.............only looking, the price was a bit high...................again, you have been helpful..............
