Iconic Lines, Modern Versatility: 1973 Wellcraft 20 Sportfisher
The early 70s were the "Golden Era" for Wellcraft, and the 20 Sportfisher is the hull that helped build that reputation. Known for its aggressive flare and legendary "Ray Hunt-inspired" deep-V design, this boat offers a dry, stable ride that punches far above its weight class in chop.
Whether you are a collector looking for a classic restoration project or a coastal angler seeking a "go-anywhere" center console with soul, this 20-footer is a rare find.

Key Features
- Classic Deep-V Hull: The signature high-bow flare isn't just for aesthetics—it’s designed to deflect spray and provide a soft entry in heavy seas, a feature often lost in modern mass-produced skiffs.
- Open Cockpit Layout: The 360-degree fishability of the center console layout provides ample room for multiple anglers, with a spacious aft deck and a raised casting platform at the bow.
- Timeless Profile: With its sweeping sheer line and vintage teak accents, this boat turns heads at every fuel dock and sandbar.
- Built to Last: From an era where "overbuilt" was the standard, the thick fiberglass layup of this 1973 hull offers a structural rigidity that modern lightweight composites struggle to match.
Broker’s Note
"The Wellcraft 20 Sportfisher is a 'cult classic' for a reason. It’s the perfect size—small enough to trail easily with a standard SUV, yet beefy enough to handle offshore runs on a favorable day. Finding one of these original 70s hulls in good condition is becoming increasingly difficult. This is a platform worth investing in."
Potential for Customization
This vessel is an ideal candidate for a re-power. Imagine this classic hull paired with a modern 150HP four-stroke outboard; you'd achieve incredible fuel efficiency and 40+ mph performance while maintaining that vintage 1970s swagger.
NOTE: Termite infestation had been found in this boat at one time
