1996 Wellcraft 45 Excalibur

This 1996 Wellcraft 45 Excalibur is a fiberglass-hulled cruiser built for freshwater operation, powered by remanufactured 8.2L Mercruiser engines paired with new Bravo 3 outdrives installed in 2018. The boat features a custom hard-framed top and enclosed cockpit, updated boot stripe and bottom paint, newer batteries, cabin air conditioning, and heat. The steep deadrise hull is designed for good seakeeping and rough-water handling, delivering performance typical of boats notably faster than most 40-foot cruisers in its class.

The layout centers on a large cockpit with an aft sunpad and table, fully enclosed for extended cruising or overnight stays. Below deck, the cabin includes a full galley to port, a separate head and shower aft, and flexible sleeping arrangements: a queen-sized pedestal berth forward with understorage, a mid-cabin that converts to a king-sized bed, and a large couch to starboard of the galley that can also serve as a third berth. The open cabin design and functional cockpit layout prioritize both entertaining and comfortable cruising.
