    1997 Wellcraft Eclipse 2400SC

    This is my in-laws' boat in Toms River, NJ. Very well maintained. Not driven hard. They go from Ocean Gate to Tice's Shoal, anchor all day, eat a sandwich and go back to Ocean Gate. I call it the "La di da boat"...cushy vinyl seats & carpeting. The deck has never felt the flop of a fish. There...
