I think Boatman1 has a Wellcraft CC for sale here on the TFF. I own the twin to his boat and couldn't be happier.
Waiting on Bob Davis' next selfie

Outech, Just my two cents, I bought a V-Bay 180 Blue Wave last Jan and for the mostpart have been happy with it. The main thing I don't care for is I think it being a deep V, when your sitting in the water and have people moving around on the boat it moves alot. I haven't took a dive yet but I know its coming. If your not ready for someone to move in the boat you could go for a swim. Other than that get something with lots of storage compartments. I don't think you can have too much. Its my first boat so I don't know that much about whats out there. It has about a 12" draft. If your gonna fish stumpy areas get alum.

I've got a 2005 19' tunnel Kenner.
First off. Its a great boat and I've had no problems. Lots of storage and with a 150Hp will go 50 mph.
Items to consider: - My engine is a 2 cycle carb and long runs to find shad can get expensive. If trolling is your thing, 4 cycle engines are much better because they don't have carbon buildup. - If you don't plan on fishing in the bays, skip the tunnel hull. - Bass fishing in the stumps without scraping up your hull is impossible with a center console. The boat catches too much wind.

check out the pioneer line of boats. The boat is a smooth ride and can handle anything around texas. I take mine to the great lakes and salmon fish. The hull is a life time warranty. No wood and all stainless steel fittings. Plus the cockpit is self bailing if you take a large one over the bow. Its a true modified V hull.
