wc-14 deluxe

[MNice]

I am shopping for a boat and have come across a very nice wc14 deluxe. 15 HP mariner & shorelander roller trailer with tiller elec motor and a nice cover. The boat is in VERY nice shape, the hull looks like it never touched anything but water. Asking price for package is $1500 which from what I've been seeing is a great price. Any thoughts on the deal?

WC14 owners, are you happy with your boat?

Thanks a bunch!! Jeff

Jeff...is that the boat that you e-mailed me on or is this a different boat? I lost your e-mail and was going to tell you that I would go to Ham Lake with you to take a look at it and the transom situation, along with customising.

I have a 2 year old wc-14 deluxe, and I am very happy with it. At the price you listed, if the motor is in good shape, I would jump at it.

I have a 16ft lund with a 25 horse Evinrude. Its all 1990 and I got it for 1400 last year. I think I got a good deal though.

WallEYES, no, different boat. The one @ Ham Lake wasn't worth my gas to drive up there. The pix looked great, but it was cobbled together, and there were many items that were "covered up with out inspection" I'm sure you've run across that a time or two.

I even found out more about this boat.
boat is a 92
motor 95
trailer 90

I'm still deciding, because what I really want is a wide/deep baot, but this may be to good to pass up.

A freind of mine has a nice WC-14 (Lund Red) for $600, its in excellent shape and has a 25 hp rating. $600 for the boat.

MNice,

Did you end up buying the WC-14DLX?? If so, how do you like it?? I have been considering buying the same style myself. I currently have a smaller alumacraft with a 15 HP honda, I like the boat but would like something just a bit wider and deeper. The WC-14 looks like about what I would want.

MWellner, do you know if that boat of your buddies is still available? Is it a WC-14 or a WC-14DLX??

[MNice]

fishermn, didn't buy it yet. The seller was on vacation last week, and I'm going next week & we couldn't hook up this week. complicated, ain't it I'm 99% sure I'm taking this one. I fished out of one for a week in Canada and it's a pretty decent boat. Plenty of room for two, but tight for three. At this price I won't lose a nickle if I decide I don't care for it.

The DLX is the version with the floor right? Did the unit you used have a 15 HP motor as well? I currently have a 15 HP Honda that will scoot my little Alumacraft along at almost 25 mph (with just me in it). How was the 15 as far as power for this boat? was it good with 2 people, or a bit underpowered? I too am leaning towards a 14 DLX. Looks like exactly what I want in a smaller boat. Eventually I will get a bigger boat, but gotta wait a few years for that.

fisher, the boat I used in canada was on a fly in trip. It was not the deluxe, but it's the same hull. It had either a 6 or a 8 hp motor which was undersized, but that what we had. Did not test drive the boat I'm buying yet, but I think a 15 would push it around very well.

I have the same boat, only with a 20 hp on it. It works well for me and when my son and daughter-in-law are along it is "cozy" , but ok. Motor pushes us along well even with 3 in the boat. I think a 15 hp will be a little small for 3 though. Nice boat and has a 20" transom. Check what yours is . I think they made them with 15 or 20" transoms. I wouldn't recommend the 15 unless you go only on small lakes with small waves.My old Mirrocraft was 15" , and there is a world of difference. Good luck
