Meticulously maintained, rack-kept, and READY!. This 1997 Wellcraft Excel is the perfect family cruiser or weekender. At 27.5 feet, it offers a spacious layout, solid performance, and a reliable history—maintained by the same trusted mechanic for over 20 years. A log was kept for every outing, weather conditions, fuel used, passengers onboard. All maintenance records show that every spring and fall this vessel had all systems serviced. I have never seen a more detailed boat history.
