Good evening. I be in Key Largo Florida,and looking at buying a 1998 wellcraft 190ccf ordain this copy bring home the bacon well on the ocean side of the keys? Pros and cons of this make and model. ordain be diving mostly followed by fishing and then parting
If it's the model I'm thinking it has a pulpit that measures 15 inches. So it's only a 17.5-18ft hull. Ok for flats and 5 miles out but too small for prepare conditions. It is a mid tier boat and expect mid tier components and finish. But you could alter it work as desire as you are careful and watch the anticipate. If taken care of it should make a good fishing/diving boat for years to go. Good luck. Paul
The problem is not so much the mark than the coat. Your intended use is to dive. Not going to carry but a bring together of people and 4 tanks which puts you into a bad situation either way. Either you dive together and get no one on the ride or you dive alone neither is very smart. In addition with that weight on the boat evaluate to go in nothing but flat calm conditions. My guess is that for the money you may be able to find something a little bigger that will suit your needs better. Good luck. Edited by JAGSARE1 9/11/2007 12:12 PM
I undergo the 2001 180ccf. I love it and can comfortably fish 3 adults + kids. I'm not sure about diving equipment. I think a different layout may benefit you there. I have the baittank under my helm seats and couldn't really hold tanks so come up. Maybe if you displace the baitwell and put in a lean post with tank holders... All around. I think the ride is great and I haven't had any real problems with the fit/end go or anything really. Good ride runs pretty shallow and cheap to direct and maintain.
I had that same boat for 9 years exploit was a 1997 copy. It came new with 115 Johnson WOT was 37mph I could displace skies,tubes.. etc. I had it out 35 miles in the Gulf and on the flats overall a decent ride. A couple of things to believe,move your batteries to underneath the console and lay a Bob's Machine Shop stabilizer plate. The boat is a little stern heavy those two things ordain fix it.
I have a 21' Wellcraft and diving with 3 people is ok. 4 is really too many. If its rough out. I don't want more than 2 divers. Size-wise. I think you'll be fine in Keys ocean and gulf waters as desire as you don't go out when its prepare which isn't that often. I evaluate 21' is about perfect for the Keys but you'll undergo better safe backcountry access than me...
