1996 Wellcraft 45 Excalibur

This 1996 Wellcraft 45 Excalibur is a fiberglass cruiser built for both performance and comfort. Twin remanufactured 8.2L Mercruiser engines producing 830 horsepower drive the boat to a cruising speed of 25 knots, with new Bravo 3 outdrives installed in 2018. The hull features a steep deadrise for confident handling in rough conditions. The boat has been maintained on freshwater only and has received recent updates including new bottom paint, updated boot stripe, a custom hard-framed top with full enclosure, newer batteries, and cabin air conditioning and heating.

The cockpit is expansive with an aft sunpad and dining table, fully enclosed for extended cruising. Below deck, the two-cabin layout offers flexible sleeping arrangements. The forward cabin features a queen-sized pedestal bed with under-bed storage, while the mid-cabin converts to a king-sized bed. A large galley sits to port with a separate head and shower aft. To starboard, a roomy sofa provides additional seating and can convert to a third berth if needed.

The 45 Excalibur combines contemporary cruising capability with thoughtful cabin volume and entertaining space. The newer engines and outdrives provide reliability and performance, while the boat's design balances speed with the stability needed for extended time on the water.
